Which Linux user is used by vsftpd to perform file system operations for anonymous FTP users?

Answer options

• A. The Linux user which runs the vsftpd process
• B. The Linux user that owns the root FTP directory served by vsftpd
• C. The Linux user with the same user name that was used to anonymously log into the FTP server
• D. The Linux user root, but vsftpd grants access to anonymous users only to globally read-/writeable files
• E. The Linux user specified in the configuration option ftp_username

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because vsftpd allows configuration of a specific user account to manage anonymous FTP operations through the ftp_username setting. The other options either refer to incorrect user accounts or misunderstand how vsftpd operates with anonymous users.
