When you try to set up the Linux server, you will need the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server so that you can gain access to the FTP.
Installing an FTP server on Ubuntu is easy, but you need to configure it with vsftpd, and here is how to do it:Â Â Install vsftpdYour system might already have vsftpd and to check its availability, open the terminal window, and insert the following command:âsudo apt list âinstalledâSomewhere near the bottom of the list, youâll find vsftpd.
If not, then install it using the following command:âsudo apt install vsftpdâStart configuring vsftpd after installation, but first, make a copy of the original config file.
Create an FTP UserFor this procedure, you will need an FTP user account to use any FTP client for accessing the files hosted on the server using the vsftpd.
To get access via port 20, use the following command:âsudo ufw allow 20/tcpâIf your system distros use an alternative, then check the documentation properly to open the ports.
Use the following command to edit:âsudo nano /etc/vsftpd.confâThen, find âwrite_enabledâ and uncomment the entry.
