Configure FTP Server

How to Configure FTP Server:

  • vsftpd package is required for FTP Server. Check whether package is installed or not. If package is missing install it first.
  • Current status of vsftpd service must be running. Start if it is stopped. Restart vsftpd service whenever you made any change in configuration file.
  • Edit  /et/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf  main  conf  file   as per  the  requirement  (  sample  below )

[ftp@root]#cat /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

# Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out).

anonymous_enable=YES

# Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.

local_enable=YES

# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.

write_enable=YES

fect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will

# obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.

#anon_upload_enable=YES

#

# Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create

# new directories.

#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES

# You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown

# below.

#xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log

# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home

# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of

# users to NOT chroot().

#chroot_local_user=YES

#chroot_list_enable=YES

# (default follows)

#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list

userlist_enable=YES

  • FTP Server is by default configured to listen on port 21. Port 21 must be opened if you have configured firewall. The configuration of a firewall for an FTP server is a relatively simple process.
  •  Create 2 normal user accounts for testing. Create a normal user
