FTP server in ubuntu

File Tansfer Protocol (ftp)

FTP file transfer protocol the name itself defines that it is used for file transfer from linux to linux

Package: vsftpd

Portno: 2021

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

Follow the default prompts, and the vsftpd server will be installed on your computer. Generally, the default configuration for vsftpd is pretty secure. Anonymous users are blocked, and no one can write files to the server. If you want to change any settings, the configuration file for vsftpd is

#vim /etc/vsftpd.conf. You can edit with this command:

sudo gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf

(New users will probably find gedit the easiest to use due the graphical interface, but more experienced users can opt for vi or emacs instead.)

If you want users to be able to write files to your FTP server, change this directive:

#write_enable=YES

To this:

write_enable=YES

If you make any changes to the file, save them, and then restart the vsftpd server so it reads its new directives:

sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

create a directory named ftp and put some files in it

#mkdir /srv/ftp

#cd /srv/ftp

#touch 1 2 3 4
