Setting up FTP Server on Centos 7.3:<\/strong>–<\/p>\n

Ftp server is used to exchange files between computers over network.<\/p>\n

Setup FTP server on Centos 7:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step1:- Updating Repository and installing VSFTP package<\/strong><\/p>\n

[root@newdelhihosting ~] # yum check-update<\/pre>\n
If update is available update the server and reboot it.<\/p>\n
[root@newdelhihosting ~] # yum -y install vsftpd\r\nResolving Dependencies\r\n--> Running transaction check\r\n---> Package vsftpd.x86_64 0:3.0.2-22.el7 will be installed\r\n--> Finished Dependency Resolution\r\n\r\nRunning transaction\r\nInstalling : vsftpd-3.0.2-22.el7.x86_64 1\/1\r\nVerifying : vsftpd-3.0.2-22.el7.x86_64 1\/1\r\n\r\nInstalled:\r\nvsftpd.x86_64 0:3.0.2-22.el7\r\n\r\nComplete!<\/pre>\n
Step2:Modifying the configuration files<\/strong><\/p>\n
After installation, you can find \u201cvsftpd.conf<\/strong>\u201d file under\u00a0\/etc\/vsftpd\/<\/strong>\u00a0which is the main configuration file for VSFTP.<\/p>\n
Take a backup copy before making changes<\/p>\n
[root@newdelhihosting~]\u00a0#\u00a0cp vsftpd.conf vsftpd.conf1<\/pre>\n
Now open the configuration file and make changes as below<\/p>\n
[root@newdelhihosting~]\u00a0#\u00a0nano \/etc\/vsftpd\/vsftpd.conf<\/pre>\n
Find for\u00a0anonymous_enable=YES<\/strong>\u00a0and change value to NO to disable anonymous FTP access.<\/p>\n
anonymous_enable=NO<\/pre>\n
Uncomment the below line to restrict users to their home directory.<\/p>\n
chroot_local_user=YES<\/pre>\n
Now, add the following lines at the end of file to enable passove mode and allow chroot writable<\/p>\n
allow_writeable_chroot=YES\r\npasv_enable=Yes\r\npasv_min_port=30000\r\npasv_max_port=35000\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 3 :\u00a0<\/strong>Now restart vsftpd service and make it start automatically after reboot.<\/p>\n
[root@newdelhihosting~]\u00a0# systemctl restart vsftpd.service\r\n[root@newdelhihosting~]\u00a0# systemctl enable vsftpd.service\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 4 :\u00a0<\/strong>Enable firewall and add FTP service in firewall to allow ftp ports.<\/p>\n
[root@newdelhihosting~]\u00a0#\u00a0systemctl enable firewalld.service\r\n[root@newdelhihosting~]\u00a0#\u00a0firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=ftp\r\n[root@newdelhihosting~]\u00a0#\u00a0firewall-cmd --reload\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 5 :\u00a0<\/strong>Setup SEinux to allow ftp access to the users home directories.<\/p>\n
[root@newdelhihosting~]#\u00a0setsebool -P ftp_home_dir on<\/pre>\n
Step 6 :<\/strong>\u00a0Now create an user for ftp access. Here \/sbin\/nologin shell is used to prevent shell access to the server.<\/p>\n
[root@newdelhihosting~]#\u00a0useradd -m webhostchennai -s \/sbin\/nologin\r\n[root@newdelhihosting~]# passwd webhostchennai\r\n\r\nChanging password for user webhostchennai.\r\nNew password:\r\nRetype new password:\r\npasswd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.\r\n<\/pre>\n
Now, the user newdelhihosting can able to login FTP on port 21<\/p>\n
You can use any FTP client for transferring the files.<\/p>\n
