Installation

sudo apt install pure-ftpd

Configuration

Ubuntu's pure-ftpd configuration file is very special, it is placed in the "/etc/pure-ftpd/conf" directory, and the option is the filename, the option value is the file content.
The configuration described below creates a new text file under "/etc/pure-ftpd/conf" with the option name as the filename, and then the content writes the value of the option.

Anonymous Logon feature

By default, the anonymous login feature is not turned on, and the content of/etc/pure-ftpd/conf/noanonymous is changed to No in "system-> System Management-> user name and group" create a username called "ftp" (must be This name), "Advanced" The inside of the main group can be a new group called "Ftpgroup" to facilitate management, if you do not want to "FTP" with the ability to log on to the local system, you can in the account properties of the "advanced" in the "Senior" "Shell" in the "/bin/false", Home directory just choose the directory where you want anonymous users to log on, I set up the "/var/ftp/public".
When you are finished, restart the FTP service (preferably reboot the system)

SUDO/ETC/INIT.D/PURE-FTPD restart

Anonymous users should be able to log in

Virtual user Settings

In "System-> System Management-> user name and group" create a username called "Ftpuser" (Ftpuser can be a name you like), the main group can recommend "Ftpgroup" to facilitate management, if you do not want to "Ftpuser" With the ability to log on to the local system, you can select "/bin/false" in the "Shell" of "advanced" in the "advanced" of the account attribute. Home Directory Select a directory where you want the user to log on (in fact, I did not test if the virtual user and the actual user's home directory set the results of different directories), I was set up "/var/www/site".
And then

sudo pure-pw useradd ftpuser-u ftpuser-d/var/www/site

Will prompt you to set a password. This command is to use the local system "ftpuser" user login, the virtual user named "Ftpuser", "Ftpuser" The main directory in the "/var/ftp", virtual users and local users can be different names, their own change, in fact, the Ftpuser do not establish also line, You can use the FTP user directly. The home directory after the user logs on to FTP is based on the home directory specified by this command.

After adding, let PURE-FTPD set up the virtual user data

sudo pure-pw mkdb
