VSFTPD simple steps

vsftpd.md

Run:

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

Edit /etc/vsftpd.conf

Disable anonymous login

anonymous_enable = NO

Allow local users to login

local_enable = YES

Allow local users to write to a directory

write_enable = YES

'Jail' the local user to their own home directory [keep it disabled by hash]

####chroot_local_user = YES####

Restart vsftpd:

service vsftpd restart

Add an FTP user:

adduser sammy
OR
adduser -d /var/www/html/ sammy

Create a directory for this user in their home directory. Change the home directory ownership to root, create a directory that you want to upload to, e.g., uploads and change the ownership of that folder to our user, in this case, sammy.

sudo chown root:root /home/sammy
sudo chown sammy:sammy /var/www/html
usermod -d /var/www/html/ sammy

We finish the setup by restarting vsftpd.
