How to Install and Configure vsftpd on Fedora 20

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is probably the most popular method of uploading files to a server; a wide array of FTP servers, such as vsftpd, and clients exist for every platform.

  • These instructions are intended specifically for installing the vsfptd on Fedora 20. 

Step 1: Install vsftpd

Warning: FTP data is insecure; traffic is not encrypted, and all transmissions are clear text (including usernames, passwords, commands, and data). Consider securing your FTP connection with SSL/TLS.

As a matter of best practice we’ll update our packages:

 

yum -y update


Then let’s install vsftpd and any required packages:

yum -y install vsftpd


Step 2: Configure vsftpd


Let’s edit the configuration file for vsftpd:

 

vim /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf


Disallow anonymous, unidentified users to access files via FTP; change the anonymous_enable setting to NO:

anonymous_enable=NO


Allow local uses to login by changing the local_enable setting to YES:

local_enable=YES


If you want local user to be able to write to a directory, then change the write_enable setting to YES:

write_enable=YES


Local users will be ‘chroot jailed’ and they will be denied access to any other part of the server; change thechroot_local_user setting to YES:

chroot_local_user=YES


Exit and save the file with the command :wq .


Restart the vsftpd service:

systemctl restart vsftpd


Then set the vsftpd service to start at boot:

systemctl enable vsftpd


Step 3: Allow vsftpd Through the Firewall


Allow the default FTP port, port 21, through firewalld:

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=21/tcp


And reload the firewall:

firewall-cmd --reload
