In this tutorial my ftp server ip and hostname
are 192.168.1.200 and barunkumar88.com
respectively. I have already configured a local repository and i am
gonna to install FTP from my local repository
Before proceed, stop the firewall.
[root@mainserver ~]# service iptables stop
iptables: Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT:
filter [ OK ]
iptables: Unloading modules: [ OK ]
[root@mainserver ~]# service ip6tables
stop
ip6tables: Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
ip6tables: Setting chains to policy
ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
ip6tables: Unloading modules: [ OK ]
[root@mainserver ~]# chkconfig iptables
off
[root@mainserver ~]# chkconfig ip6tables
off
[root@mainserver ~]#
Now let us install FTP service.
[root@mainserver ~]# yum install -y vsftpd
[root@mainserver ~]# Start vsftpd service.
[root@mainserver ~]# service vsftpd start
Starting vsftpd for vsftpd: [ OK ]
[root@mainserver ~]#
Enable vsftpd in multi-user levels.
[root@mainserver ~]# chkconfig vsftpd on
Now edit the /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file.
Uncomment and edit the lines in the vsftpd.conf file which are shown in bold.
[root@mainserver ~]# cat /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
# Example config file
/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
#
# The default compiled in settings are
fairly paranoid. This sample file
# loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp
daemon more usable.
# Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all
compiled in defaults.
#
# READ THIS: This example file is NOT an
exhaustive list of vsftpd options.
# Please read the vsftpd.conf.5 manual
page to get a full idea of vsftpd's
# capabilities.
#
# Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed
by default if you comment this out).
anonymous_enable=NO
#
# Uncomment this to allow local users to
log in.
local_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP
write command.
write_enable=YES
#
# Default umask for local users is 077.
You may wish to change this to 022,
# if your users expect that (022 is used
by most other ftpd's)
local_umask=022
#
# Uncomment this to allow the anonymous
FTP user to upload files. This only
# has an effect if the above global write
enable is activated. Also, you will
# obviously need to create a directory
writable by the FTP user.
#anon_upload_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this if you want the anonymous
FTP user to be able to create
# new directories.
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
#
# Activate directory messages - messages
given to remote users when they
# go into a certain directory.
dirmessage_enable=YES
#
# The target log file can be
vsftpd_log_file or xferlog_file.
# This depends on setting
xferlog_std_format parameter
xferlog_enable=YES
#
# Make sure PORT transfer connections
originate from port 20 (ftp-data).
connect_from_port_20=YES
#
# If you want, you can arrange for
uploaded anonymous files to be owned by
# a different user. Note! Using
"root" for uploaded files is not
# recommended!
#chown_uploads=YES
#chown_username=whoever
#
# The name of log file when
xferlog_enable=YES and xferlog_std_format=YES
# WARNING - changing this filename affects
/etc/logrotate.d/vsftpd.log
#xferlog_file=/var/log/xferlog
#
# Switches between logging into
vsftpd_log_file and xferlog_file files.
# NO writes to vsftpd_log_file, YES to
xferlog_file
xferlog_std_format=YES
#
# You may change the default value for
timing out an idle session.
#idle_session_timeout=600
#
# You may change the default value for
timing out a data connection.
#data_connection_timeout=120
#
# It is recommended that you define on
your system a unique user which the
# ftp server can use as a totally isolated
and unprivileged user.
#nopriv_user=ftpsecure
#
# Enable this and the server will
recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not
# recommended for security (the code is
non-trivial). Not enabling it,
# however, may confuse older FTP clients.
#async_abor_enable=YES
#
# By default the server will pretend to
allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore
# the request. Turn on the below options
to have the server actually do ASCII
# mangling on files when in ASCII mode.
# Beware that on some FTP servers, ASCII
support allows a denial of service
# attack (DoS) via the command "SIZE
/big/file" in ASCII mode. vsftpd
# predicted this attack and has always
been safe, reporting the size of the
# raw file.
# ASCII mangling is a horrible feature of
the protocol.
ascii_upload_enable=YES
ascii_download_enable=YES
#
# You may fully customise the login banner
string:
ftpd_banner=Welcome tobarunkumar88 FTP
service.
#
# You may specify a file of disallowed
anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently
# useful for combatting certain DoS
attacks.
#deny_email_enable=YES
# (default follows)
#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd/banned_emails
#
# You may specify an explicit list of
local users to chroot() to their home
# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES,
then this list becomes a list of
# users to NOT chroot().
#chroot_local_user=YES
#chroot_list_enable=YES
# (default follows)
#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list
#
# You may activate the "-R"
option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by
# default to avoid remote users being able
to cause excessive I/O on large
# sites. However, some broken FTP clients
such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume
# the presence of the "-R"
option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.
ls_recurse_enable=YES
#
# When "listen" directive is
enabled, vsftpd runs in standalone mode and
# listens on IPv4 sockets. This directive
cannot be used in conjunction
# with the listen_ipv6 directive.
listen=YES
#
# This directive enables listening on IPv6
sockets. To listen on IPv4 and IPv6
# sockets, you must run two copies of
vsftpd with two configuration files.
# Make sure, that one of the listen
options is commented !!
#listen_ipv6=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
use_localtime=YES
Now let us restart the vsftpd service and
try to connect to ftp server.
[root@mainserver ~]# service vsftpd
restart
Shutting down vsftpd: [ OK ]
Starting vsftpd for vsftpd: [ OK ]
Connect to the ftp server.
Note: Root is not allowed to connect to
ftp server by default for security purpose. So lets us create a new user
calledbarunkumar88.
[root@mainserver ~]# useraddbarunkumar88
[root@mainserver ~]# passwdbarunkumar88
Changing password for userbarunkumar88.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary
word
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated
successfully.
Connet to FTP server using the new
userbarunkumar88.
[root@mainserver ~]# ftp 192.168.1.200
-bash: ftp: command not found
[root@mainserver ~]#
Oops! ftp package is not installed. So let
us install ftp package first.
[root@mainserver ~]# yum install -y ftp

[root@mainserver ~]#
Again connect to the FTP server.
[root@mainserver ~]# ftp 192.168.1.200
Connected to 192.168.1.200
(192.168.1.200).
220 Welcome tobarunkumar88 FTP service.

ftp>
It shows a error that the user cannot
change to his $HOME directory. Type exit to return back from the ftp console
and allow vsftpd daemon to change users into their $HOME directories. To do
that update SELinux configuration using the command below.
[root@mainserver ~]# setsebool -P
ftp_home_dir on
And finally connect to the FTP server.
[root@mainserver ~]# ftp 192.168.1.200
Connected to 192.168.1.200
(192.168.1.200).
