Ubuntu vsftpd server error: 500 OOPS: could not read chroot() list file:/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

ftpUbuntuvsftpd

I configured an FTP server for Ubuntu using vsftpd. However, I can't access the server.

Status: Connecting to IP
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:   220 (vsFTPd 2.3.2)
Command:    USER userhere
Response:   331 Please specify the password.
Command:    PASS ***************
Response:   500 OOPS: could not read chroot() list file:/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
Error:  Critical error
Error:  Could not connect to server

EDIT

The problem was solved ! Comment the line chroot_list_enable=YES

Best Answer

Quick fix would be to disable chroot_list_enable switch in your conf file for Vsftpd( usually in /etc/vsftpd.conf)

#chroot_list_enable=YES
#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

Comment out mentioned line above and see it helps or not.
