Description : <\/strong><\/p>\n

* FTP \u2013 File transfer protocol is used to transfer files from one host to another over TCP<\/p>\n

* Configuring ftp server on linux is safe and secure.<\/p>\n

* In this article we can see how to configure ftp server on centos 6.<\/p>\n

Please follow the steps.<\/p>\n

Step 1 :  <\/strong><\/p>\n

Vsftpd is a lightweight FTP server package for Centos (linux).
\nStart installing package by issuing below command.<\/p>\n

[root@leela ~]# yum -y install vsftpd<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Step 2 : <\/strong><\/p>\n
After installation, Open the file \/etc\/vsftpd\/vsftpd.conf which is the config file for vsftpd.<\/p>\n
Replace YES to NO in the below line.<\/p>\n
anonymous_enable=NO<\/pre>\n
Find and Uncomment the below lines<\/p>\n
local_enable=YES<\/pre>\n
write_enable=YES<\/pre>\n
and uncomment this line to limit the users to their home directories.<\/p>\n
chroot_local_user=YES<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Step 3 : <\/strong><\/p>\n
Create a folder where you want to store FTP data. I’m going to create in \/ ( root folder ) like below<\/p>\n
[root@leela ~]# mkdir \/ftp<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Step 4 : <\/strong><\/p>\n
Now start creating users for accessing ftp server<\/p>\n
[root@user ~]# useradd -d \/ftp\/user1 user1\n[root@user ~]# passwd user1\nChanging password for user user1.\nNew password:<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
You just created username user1 with home directory \/ftp\/user1 .<\/p>\n
Step 5 : <\/strong><\/p>\n
Start vsftpd service by issuing the below command.<\/p>\n
[root@leela ~]# service vsftpd start<\/pre>\n
and type this below command to start ftp server service automatically while booting.<\/p>\n
[root@leela ~]# chkconfig --levels 235 vsftpd on<\/pre>\n
Step 6 : <\/strong><\/p>\n
That\u2019s it, Now we can check the FTP access .Create some files in \/ftp\/user1 folder<\/p>\n
[root@user ~]# touch \/ftp\/user1\/test
\n[root@user ~]# touch \/ftp\/user1\/test1
\n[root@user ~]# touch \/ftp\/user1\/test2<\/p>\n
Now open ftp path in remote machine browser ftp:\/\/ftp-server-IP ( ftp:\/\/123.45.56.789 ).<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
You can see the created files after authentication.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Disable firewall ( Iptables ) :  <\/strong><\/p>\n
[root@leela ~]# service iptables stop\n[root@leela ~]# chkconfig iptables off<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Disable Selinux : <\/strong><\/p>\n
open the file \/etc\/selinux\/config and find the line<\/p>\n
SELINUX=enforcing<\/pre>\n
and replace with<\/p>\n
SELINUX=disabled<\/pre>\n
now reboot the server and try again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
