VSFTPD with Samba Server on Centos

Installing VSftpd FTP Server on CentOS

 VSftpd is an FTP server for Linux.

 Install the VSftpd Server

Type the following command to install the VSftpd FTP Server: 

[root@centos7 ~]# yum install vsftpd  

Backup the default configuration file ‘vsftpd.conf’:

[root@centos7 ~]# cp /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.back 

We also need to install the FTP client, so that we can connect to an FTP server: 

[root@centos7 ~]# yum install ftp 

Configure the VSftpd Server

Once the VSftpd Server is installed, you can adjust the basic configuration.

Anonymous FTP is allowed by default. Set the anonymous_enable=NO to secure your server.

Open the configuration file:

vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf 

Make the following changes:

Option                                                                               Description

anonymous_enable=NO                                                  Disable anonymous login 
local_enable=YES                                                           Enable local users 
write_enable=YES                                                          Give FTP users permissions to write data 
connect_from_port_20=NO            Port 20 need to be turned off. It makes VSftpd run less privileged
chroot_local_user=YES                                                  Chroot everyone

local_umask=022                    Set umask to 022, to make sure that all the files (644) and folders (755) you upload, get the proper permissions

Check vsftpd.conf man pages, for all configuration options.

 man vsftpd.conf

                                                     

Add at the end of file
[root@centos7 ~]# local_root=/var/ftp

[root@centos7 ~]# useradd nafees

[root@centos7 ~]# passwd nafees

[root@centos7 ~]# useradd -d '/var/ftp' -s /sbin/nologin nafees 

[root@centos7 ~]# mkdir -p /var/ftp 

[root@centos7 ~]# chown -R nafees '/var/ftp' 

[root@centos7 ~]# chmod 775 '/var/ftp'  

[root@centos7 ~]#groupadd ftpusers 

[root@centos7 ~]# usermod -G ftpusers nafees

[root@centos7 ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=21/tcp 

[root@centos7 ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=ftp 

[root@centos7 ~]# firewall-cmd --reload 

[root@centos7 ~]# chkconfig --levels 235 vsftpd on[root@centos7 ~]# sudo firewall-cmd --reload[root@centos7 ~]# service vsftpd start 
[root@centos7 ~]# systemctl restart vsftpd
[root@centos7 ~]# systemctl enable vsftpd
