With an SSL certificate installed you will also be to see the certificate information before connecting, to verify that you are connecting to the right server. If you have a domain pointing to your server you can also use a free SSL Certificate from Let’s Encrypt. That’s why to increase security you should use SFTP or enable TLS/SSL for encrypted transfer. You can also enable Chroot Jail for the users in the configuration file so the users cannot access the filesystem outside of its home directory with uncommenting the line: chroot_local_user=YESįTP is not encrypting the data including the user credentials during the FTP session. Or you can simply open the file with your favorite file editor and add the name of the users each in a new line.
You can add the users with the command: echo "user" | sudo tee -a /etc/erlist etc/erlist will be the file to which we can add users that we want to give access. Next, you can create a list of users that will have access by adding the following lines in the configuration: userlist_enable=YES If we want to allow users to add, change, or remove files and directories we will need to uncomment the line #write_enable=YES by removing the # symbol. # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in. You can notice the following configuration which is enabled by default: # Allow anonymous FTP? (Disabled by default). Now we can open the configuration file with: $ sudo nano /etc/nf Make sure you create a copy of the original file before we start editing the configuration file. We can configure vsftpd from the configuration file that can be found in /etc/nf
Next, we can check the vsftp version with vsftpd -v and we can also check if the vsftpd service is running with: $ systemctl status vsftpd Then we can proceed to install vsftpd: $ sudo apt install vsftpd We will start by updating the Ubuntu 20.04 packages with the command: $ sudo apt update
SSL/TLS support is built into many internet communications frameworks and the certificate visibility offers higher trust for authentication. Vsftpd among other features has IPv6 and TLS support, we can use also use SFTP ( SSH File Transfer Protocol ) to run FTP over SSH, but for this tutorial, you will learn how to secure FTP with SSL/TLS. Vsftpd is a stable, fast, and secure FTP server used for file transfers from the client to remote servers and vice versa. Vsftpd ( Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon ) is the default FTP server for Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and RHEL Linux distributions.
