Lab 16 FTP servers

Requirements Quick Reference Objectives to learn
➢ One of the two selected FTP servers. #FTP servers #User 'daemon' or 'ftp' plus homedir

#Default SuSE and RedHat FTP server:

vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf #/etc/init.d/vsftpd uses /var/ftp or
vi /etc/vsftpd.conf
userlist_enable = yes #Requires:
vi /etc/vsftpd.user_list #Accept list
vi /etc/vsftpd.ftusers #Deny list
vi /ftpdir/.message #Welcome file

#SuSE uses vsftpd as a service of xinetd (See Lab 8)

#RedHat starts vsftpd as a stand alone daemon
To Do
1. Add an FTP server and make sure anonymous #Optional Pure-ftp server:
access is enabled. vi /etc/pure-ftp/pure-ftpd.conf #/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd

2. Test the FTP connection from another machine. usermod -d /var/ftp ftp #Change ftp-directory
