Then reload the firewall for the changes to apply. sudo ufw allow 20/tcp sudo ufw allow 21/tcp In case you have a firewall enabled, allow ports 20 and 21. sudo systemctl status vsftpd Step 5: Access the vsftpd server Just to ensure that everything is fine, you can verify its running status. Rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pemįor the changes to come into effect, restart the server. Rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem In summary, your configuration file should contain these lines: listen=NO

rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem ssl_enable=YES Head back to the default configuration file again, and paste these lines to specify the path of the generated SSL certificates and enable SSL. sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem -out /etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem

We are going to generate a self-signed SSL certificate to encrypt the server. To provide a secure FTP connection to the server, we need to encrypt the server using an SSL certificate. userlist_enable=YES userlist_file=/etc/erlist userlist_deny=NO write_enable=YES chroot_local_user=YES allow_writeable_chroot=YESĪdditionally, you can limit the local users who can access and upload files by specifying only the users contained in the erlist file. Next, you need to allow the local user to upload files and gain access to their home directory as well as make changes to the files as indicated. Therefore, we will disable login by the anonymous user and only grant access to the local user. But this is not what we want due to security purposes. By default, anonymous users are granted access. There are a couple of settings that you need to ensure are set. Proceed and edit the main configuration file - /etc/nf. sudo mkdir -p /home/ftpuser/ftp_dir/upload sudo chmod 550 /home/ftpuser/ftp_dir sudo chmod -R 750 /home/ftpuser/ftp_dir/upload sudo chown -R ftpuser: /home/ftpuser/ftp_dir Step 5: Configure vsftpdĪ few extra steps are required before we can log in and start interacting with the server. Next, create an FTP directory for the FTP user and assign the appropriate directory permissions and ownership.
