Serving ftp with vsftpd

Thu, 12/23/2010 - 16:32 — sandip

vsftpd can be installed directly via yum and is a straight forward setup:

yum install vsftpd
chkconfig vsftpd on
service vsftpd start

The default vsftpd.conf should be fine to run with. However, it is best practice to disable anonymous access if not being used:

# cat /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf | grep -v "#\|^$"
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_std_format=NO
nopriv_user=nobody
ftpd_banner=OK
listen=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
log_ftp_protocol=YES
chroot_local_user=YES

For an incoming dropbox only option, use:

download_enable=NO
dirlist_enable=NO
