Ubuntu Install and configure the FTP server

Used to upload files to the server using the SCP command, simple and secure, but the upgrade mechanism of WordPress need to use FTP access mode, so have to configure FTP server under the VPS, Linux configuration FTP server can choose Vsftp and wu-ftp, both have advantages. Personal comparison recommended Vsftp, in addition to Chinese garbled problem.

Vsftp is a GPL-based UNIX-like system used on the use of the FTP server software, its full name is very secure FTP from the names can be seen, the original intention of the creator is the security of the code.

WU-FTPD full name is Washington University FTP, the vast majority of Linux distribution package can be selected, WU-FTPD is a good performance of the server software, because it has a lot of powerful features and very large throughput, There are many FTP servers on the Internet that choose WU-FTPD.
