Ubuntu Configuring an FTP server with VSFTPD

Install FTP

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

Configure vsftpd.conf

sudo nano/etc/vsftpd.conf

#禁止匿名访问anonymous_enable =no# Accept local user local_enable=yes# allow upload write_enable=yes# user can only access restricted directory chroot_local_user=yes# set fixed directory , added at the end. If you do not add this line, each user corresponding to their own directory, of course, this folder built Local_root=/home/ftp

Look at the online said add a line "pam_service_name=vsftpd", I think I this configuration file is already there, no matter.

Add FTP User

sudo useradd-d/home/ftp-m ftpusersudo passwd ftpuser

Adjust folder permissions

This is to avoid "OOPS:vsftpd:refusing to run with writable root inside Chroot ()"

sudo chmod a-w/home/ftpsudo mkdir/home/ftp/data

This will see the Data folder after login, although a little trouble, the reason is not table. It's hard to find information so bitter.

Change PAM.D/VSFTPD

This time directly with Useradd account login FTP will 530 login incorrect

sudo nano/etc/pam.d/vsftpd

Comment out

#auth    Required Pam_shells.so

Restart VSFTPD

sudo service vsftpd restart

At this point you can use the Ftpuser just built this user login FTP, see is Local_root set/home/ftp, and limited in the directory.

can be accessed in the browser with FTP://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, also can use FTP software such as FLASHFXP, password is ftpuser password.

About User Access folder restrictions

By the Chroot_local_user, chroot_list_enable, chroot_list_file These three documents control, to transfer someone's passage:

First of all, chroot_list_enable good understanding, is: whether to enable Chroot_list_file configuration of the file, if yes indicates that the Chroot_list_file configuration of the file to take effect, otherwise does not take effect;
Second, Chroot_list_file is also simple, configure a file path, the default is/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list, the file will be filled with some account names. However, the meaning of these accounts is not fixed and is related to the configuration item Chroot_local_user. Described in the following article;
Third, Chroot_local_user for yes means that all users * cannot * switch to a directory other than the home directory, but! The user is listed in addition to the Chroot_list_file configuration file. Chroot_local_user for no means that all users can * switch to a directory other than the home directory, but! The user is listed in addition to the Chroot_list_file configuration file. It can also be understood that chroot_list_file lists the "exceptions" to the user.
