Ubuntu 18.04 Installing an FTP server

First install the VSFTPD:

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

You can vsftpd -version view the VSFTPD version by command.

Create a new user for the FTP server (for example, I create a new user name and password for SJFF users):

[email protected]:~$ sudo useradd -d /home/sjff -s /bin/bash sjff[email protected]:~$ sudo passwd sjff输入新的 UNIX 密码： 重新输入新的 UNIX 密码： passwd：已成功更新密码

Here we are going to set the FTP root path to/home/zifeiy/mystorage, so we need to modify the/etc/vsftpd.conf file and add it at the bottom:

local_root=/home/zifeiy/mystorageanno_root=/home/zifeiy/mystorage

and show:

Local_root represents the default location when a user logs on as a local user.
Others are kept by default.

Then execute the following command to start the FTP server:

service vsftpd start

No success, try again tomorrow, I sleep.
