The string used here to define the welcome discourse, Banner_file is the form of the file, while the Ftpd_banner is the form of a string. Default is None.

　　6. Control whether the user is allowed to switch to the parent directory

Under the default configuration, a local user can use the CD command to switch to a different directory after logging in FTP, which poses a security risk to the system. You can control the user Switching directory by using the following three configuration files.

　　chroot_list_enable=yes/no (NO)

Sets whether the user list file specified by the Chroot_list_file configuration entry is enabled. The default value is No.

　　Chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

Used to specify a user list file that controls which users can switch to the parent directory of the user's home directory.

　　chroot_local_user=yes/no (NO)

Lets you specify whether users in the user list file are allowed to switch to a parent directory. The default value is No.

　　The following effects can be achieved by collocation:

① users listed in the/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list file can switch to other directories when Chroot_list_enable=yes,chroot_local_user=yes, and users that are not listed in the file. You cannot switch to a different directory.

② users listed in the/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list file cannot switch to another directory when Chroot_list_enable=yes,chroot_local_user=no, and users who are not listed in the file can switch to another directory.

　　③ When Chroot_list_enable=no,chroot_local_user=yes, all users cannot switch to a different directory.

　　④ When Chroot_list_enable=no,chroot_local_user=no, all users can switch to a different directory.

　　7. data transfer Mode Setup

FTP can use binary when transferring data, or it can use ASCII mode to upload or download data.

　　ascii_upload_enable=yes/no (NO)

Sets whether ASCII-mode upload data is enabled. The default value is No.

　　ascii_download_enable=yes/no (NO)

Sets whether to enable ASCII mode download data. The default value is No.

　　8. access Control Settings

Two kinds of control methods: one control host access, the other control user access.

　　① Control host Access:

　　tcp_wrappers=yes/no (YES)

Sets whether the VSFTPD is combined with the TCP wrapper for host access control. The default value is yes. If enabled, the VSFTPD server checks the settings in/etc/hosts.allow and/etc/hosts.deny to determine whether the host requesting the connection is allowed to access the FTP server. These two files can play a simple firewall function.

For example, to allow only 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254 users to connect to an FTP server, add the following in the/etc/hosts.allow file:

vsftpd:192.168.0. : Allow

All:all:d Eny

　　② Control user access:

Access control for users can be achieved through the vsftpd.user_list and ftpusers files in the/etc directory.

　　Userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd.user_list

Control user access to FTP files, which write the user name. One row for the user name.

　　userlist_enable=yes/no (NO)

Whether to enable Vsftpd.user_list files.

　　userlist_deny=yes/no (YES)

Determines whether users in the Vsftpd.user_list file can access the FTP server. If set to Yes, the user in the Vsftpd.user_list file is not allowed access to FTP, and if set to No, only users in the Vsftpd.user_list file can access FTP.

　　The /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers file is specifically designed to define a list of users who do not allow access to the FTP server ( Note : if Userlist_enable=yes,userlist_deny=no, At this point, if there is a user in both Vsftpd.user_list and ftpusers, then the user is not able to access FTP, that is, ftpusers priority is high. By default, Vsftpd.user_list and Ftpusers, these two files have preset some system internal accounts that do not allow access to the FTP server. If the system does not have these two files, then create the two files and add the user.

　　9. Access Rate Settings

　　Anon_max_rate=0

Sets the maximum transfer speed that is used by an anonymous login, in b/s,0, which indicates that the speed is not limited. The default value is 0.

　　Local_max_rate=0

The maximum transfer speed used by local users, in units of b/s,0, to express unlimited speed. The preset value is 0.

　　 Timeout settings

　　Accept_timeout=60

Sets the timeout in seconds for establishing an FTP connection. The default value is 60.

　　Connect_timeout=60

The PORT method to establish a data connection timeout, in seconds. The default value is 60.

　　data_connection_timeout=120

Sets the timeout time, in seconds, to establish an FTP data connection. The default value is 120.

　　idle_session_timeout=300

Set how long to do nothing with the FTP server, then disconnect the FTP connection in seconds. The default value is 300.

　　One . log File Settings

　　xferlog_enable= yes/no (YES)

Whether to enable upload/download log records. If enabled, the uploaded and downloaded information will be fully recorded in the file defined by Xferlog_file. Preset to open.

　　Xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log

Sets the log file name and path, and the default value is/var/log/vsftpd.log.

　　xferlog_std_format=yes/no (NO)

If enabled, the log file will be written as a Xferlog standard format, as in WU-FTPD General. The default value is off.

　　Log_ftp_protocol=yes|no (NO)

If this option is enabled, all FTP requests and responses are logged to the log, and the default log file is/var/log/vsftpd.log. When this option is enabled, Xferlog_std_format cannot be activated. This option is useful for debugging. The default value is No.

　　 Define user Profiles

In vsftpd, you can define user profiles to enable different users to use different configurations.

　　User_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd/userconf

Sets the directory where the user profile resides. When the configuration item is set, after the user logs on to the server, the system goes to the/etc/vsftpd/userconf directory, reads the same file as the current user name, and makes a further configuration of the current user according to the configuration commands in the file.

For example: Define USER_CONFIG_DIR=/ETC/VSFTPD/USERCONF, and there is a user test1,test2 on the host, then we will add the file name Test1 and test2 two files in the User_config_dir directory. If the test1 login, it will read the User_config_dir under the Test1 in this file settings. The default value is None. Using user profiles, you can control the speed of access to different users, and define LOCAL_MAX_RATE=XX in each user profile.

　　13.FTP the working mode and port settings

FTP works in two ways: PORT FTP (Active mode) and PASV FTP (passive mode)

　　Listen_port=21

Sets the port on which the FTP server is listening to establish a connection, with the default value of 21.

　　Connect_from_port_20=yes/no

　　Ftp_data_port=20

Sets the port to use for FTP data connections, with a default value of 20.

　　pasv_enable=yes/no (YES)

If set to Yes, the PASV work mode is used, and port mode is used if set to No. The default value is Yes, that is, the PASV mode of work is used.

　　Pasv_max_port=0

In PASV mode, the maximum port range that a data connection can use, 0 represents any port. The default value is 0.

　　Pasv_min_port=0

In PASV mode, the minimum port range for a data connection to use, and 0 represents any port. The default value is 0.

　　 Connection-related settings

　　listen=yes/no (YES)

Sets whether the VSFTPD server runs in standalone mode. It is a good way to run in standalone mode, at which point listen must be set to Yes, which is the default value. It is recommended that you do not change, there are many configuration commands that are related to the operation of the server and need to be valid in this mode. If set to No, then VSFTPD is not run as an independent service, to be subject to the XINETD service control, the function will be limited.

　　Max_clients=0

Sets the maximum number of connections allowed for VSFTPD, with a default value of 0, which indicates unrestricted access. When set to 100, 100 connections are allowed at the same time, and the excess is denied. Only works in standalone mode.

　　Max_per_ip=0

Set the number of connections that each IP allows to establish with the FTP server. The default value is 0, which means unrestricted. Only works in standalone mode.

　　 Other Settings

　　text_userdb_names= yes/no (NO)

Sets whether the UID, GID, or specific user and group names are displayed when executing commands such as Ls–la. The default value is no, which is displayed in UID and GID mode. Set to Yes if you want to display the user name and group name.
