Set up an FTP server instance in Ubuntu

Today I want to learn how to install the FTP server in Ubuntu, using vsftpd software.

1. Use the new software package manager to install vsftpd.

2 configure etc/vsftpd. conf

The problem is

1. How to restart vsftpd: sudo/etc/init. d/vsftpd restart

2 folder Permissions

 

In Ubuntu, when I want to copy files to/home/ftp, the following command is executed if I find that my permissions are insufficient:

Sudo chmod 777 ftp can indeed copy files, but the ftp software cannot connect to the ftp server. The error is 500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable anonymous root.

Solution:

For the root directory/home/ftp of vsftpd, the permission is: drwxrwxrwx, that is, there is no limit (maybe the chmod 777/home/ftp is accidentally executed );

However, vsftpd does not allow/home/ftp for security reasons, which leads to the above error.

Therefore, we only need to make the following changes:

Chown root: root/home/ftp

Chmod 755/home/ftp

(If you do not Log On As A root user, you may need to add sudo before. Do not forget)

OK. The problem is resolved.
