I have a client which automatically sends your backups every night via ftp, a good day until he no longer worked for a backup service. Reviewing scripts backups of this server I noticed the following error; 


  deathbian backup @: ~ $ ftp 192.168.64.10 
  Connected to 192.168.64.10. 
  500 UNRWA: failed to open ftp log file


Displaying more detail found in the message log 500 UNRWA: failed to open xferlog log file: / var / log / xferlog. With this procedure to open another root end and stopped the service of vsftp clear the log file and restart the service. 


  [root @ ftpserver ~] # service vsftpd stop 
  Shutting down vsftpd: [OK] 
  [root @ ftpserver ~] # rm / var / log / vsftpd.log 
  [root @ ftpserver ~] # service vsftpd start 
  [root @ ftpserver ~] #



Bringing the demon of vsftpd must create a new blogs on / var / log /.

You may also be a problem with SELinux, which must run the system-config-securitylevel and off. We also review whether the port 21 for FTP protocol is not blocked by iptables.
