Vsftpd configuration instances in Ubuntu are super simple and highly available.

I read a lot of installation and configuration tutorials on vsftpd on the Internet and found that many of them are unavailable. After several attempts, I summarized a simple setup method.

Step 1: Install vsftpd

Sudo apt-get installVsftpd

Step 2: Configure

Sudo vi/etc/Vsftpd. Conf

Unregister and disable anonymous access

# Anonymous_enable = YES

Remove logout, # Allow Local Accounts to access, such as root accounts and other system logon accounts

Local_enable = YES

Write_enable = YES

Step 3: If you want the root user to access the server, perform step 3.

Sudo vi/etc/ftpusers

Remove root

Step 4: add an access account

Add an ftpgroup User Group

Sudo groupadd ftpgroup

Add User ftpuser and set its directory to/ftp/ftpuser (this folder can be modified but must be created)

SudoUseradd-G ftpgroup-d/ftp/ftpuser-M ftpuser

If the above/ftp/ftpuser is not created, you need to create this folder

Sudo mkdir/ftp

Sudo mkdir/ftp/ftpuser

Users must have the permission to access and grant/ftp/ftpuser the permission.

Sudo chmod 777/ftp/ftpuser

Step 5: Set the ftpuser Password

Sudo passwd ftpuser

Step 6: restart vsftpd

Sudo restart vsftpd
