vsftpd - FTP Server Configuration
You can edit the vsftpd configuration file, /etc/vsftpd.conf, to change the default settings. By default only anonymous FTP is allowed. If you wish to disable this option, you should change the following line:
anonymous_enable=YES
to
anonymous_enable=NO
By default, local system users are not allowed to login to FTP server. To change this setting, you should uncomment the following line:
#local_enable=YES
By default, users are allowed to download files from FTP server. They are not allowed to upload files to FTP server. To change this setting, you should uncomment the following line:
#write_enable=YES
Similarly, by default, the anonymous users are not allowed to upload files to FTP server. To change this setting, you should uncomment the following line:
#anon_upload_enable=YES
The configuration file consists of many configuration parameters. The information about each parameter is available in the configuration file. Alternatively, you can refer to the man page, man 5 vsftpd.conf for details of each parameter.
Once you configure vsftpd you can start the daemon. You can run following command to run the vsftpd daemon:
sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
[Note]
Please note that the defaults in the configuration file are set as they are for security reasons. Each of the above changes makes the system a little less secure, so make them only if you need them.
