Install FTP in ubuntu

Install vsftp in Ubuntu

1. Update the software source

First you need to update the system software source, convenient tool: http://help.aliyun.com/manual? Spm = 0.0.0.0.zJ3dBU & helpId = 1692

2. Install vsftp

Use the apt-get command to install vsftp

# Apt-get install vsftpd-y

3. Add an ftp account and Directory

First check the location of nologin, usually under/usr/sbin/nologin or/sbin/nologin.

Use the following command to create an account. The command specifies/alidata/www/wwwroot as the Home Directory of user pwftp. You can define the account name and directory by yourself:

# Useradd-d/ftpdata-s/sbin/nologin pwftp

Modify the account password:

# Passwd pwftp

Modify the permission of a specified directory

# Chown-R pwftp. pwftp/ftpdata

4. Configure vsftp

To edit the vsftp configuration file, run the following command:

# Vi/etc/vsftpd. conf

Change "anonymous_enable = YES" in the configuration file to "anonymous_enable = NO"

Cancel the annotator before the following Configuration:

Local_enable = YES

Write_enable = YES

Chroot_local_user = YES

Chroot_list_enable = YES

Chroot_list_file =/etc/vsftpd. chroot_list

Save and exit

Edit the/etc/vsftpd. chroot_list file, add the ftp account name, save and exit.

5. Modify shell configuration

Vi edit/etc/shells. If the file does not contain/usr/sbin/nologin or/sbin/nologin (depending on the current system configuration), append it

6. Restart the vsftp service and test logon.

Run the following command to start the vsftp service:

# Service vsftpd restart

Then, use the account pwftp to test whether ftp can be logged on. The directory is/alidata/www/wwwroot.

In addition, we will post the vsftpd. conf configuration file for your reference, which can be used for testing.

# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf## The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid.
