Package: vsftpd—-.rpm
\nConfiguration file: \/etc\/vsftpd\/vsftpd.conf
\nPackage: ftp (client)<\/p>\n
Two types of login:
\n(a) Anonymous login: Anyone can login using the username “anonymous” or “ftp”, with password field blank. Here the user will be restricted to only ‘\/var\/ftp\/pub’ folder. Only download is allowed here<\/p>\n
(b) Non-anonymous login: Requires a valid username and password. Both upload and download is allowed based on user’s access permissions.<\/p>\n
The entry “anonymous_enable=YES” in vsftpd.conf manages this feature.<\/p>\n
Client commands<\/p>\n
# get: To download
\n# mget: get multiple downloads
\n# pwd: Remote system’s current directory
\n# !pwd: Our current dir
\n# bye: exit from FTP client
\n# close: Logout
\n# open: Log in to a server
\n# put: Upload file<\/p>\n
To restrict local users to login to ftp we need to uncomment the entry local_enable=YES in vsftpd.conf. Now if you try to ftp via command line, you may see the message This FTP server is anonymous only.<\/p>\n
To restrict local users to access only their home folder, uncomment the entry chroot_list_enable=YES and chroot_list_file=\/etc\/vsftpd\/chroot_list in ‘vsftpd.conf’.
\nIn the choot_list file remember to add the usernames of people who should have only access to their home folder.<\/p>\n
To restrict few users to access ftp, add their usernames in \/etc\/vsftpd\/ftpusers.<\/p>\n
FTP access can be controlled using \/etc\/vsftpd\/user_list too. First add usernames in this file. Now edit ‘vsftpd.conf’. If userlist_deny=NO is enabled, it only allow users in this file to access via ftp. If userlist_deny=YES is enabled, ftp never allow users in this file to login.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
