Install FTP Server in Ubuntu (proftpd) with user Ftp access

FTP is one of the Internet protocol of the earliest developed, and until now still used to download and upload computer files, namely between FTP client and FTP server. An FTP Client is an application that can issue FTP commands to an FTP server, while the FTP server is a daemon that runs on a computer that responds to commands from an FTP client. FTP commands can be used to change directories, change the transfer mode between binary and ASCII, upload and download files on FTP servers.

Actually, to install ftp server in ubuntu is not so difficult, here are the steps for installation in ubuntu ftp server .

Here the data for the ftp server I assume is as follows :

ftp user: john and macdoni
folder for the ftp server in /home/ftp with permissions read and write

first step is to download and install the package proftpd in ubuntu :

root@server:~# aptitude update && aptitude install proftpd

After doing the above command next step is to create user ftp, which is planned to be at the user create a john and mcdoni, which is later ftp users will have access to read and write. Here is the command to create the ftp user :

root@server:~# adduser john
root@server:~# adduser mcdoni

If the user ftp has been made so we then create the folder /home/ftp, where the folder /home/ftp is that we will create a default ftp access. the following steps:

root@server:~# mkdir /home/ftp
root@server:~# chmod 777 /home/ftp

Next we edit the file /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf :

root@server:~# mv /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf proftpd/proftpd.conf_original
root@server:~# vim /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

-- Please enter the following script --

#
# /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf -- This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file.
# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.

#

Include /etc/proftpd/modules.conf

# Set off to disable IPv6 support which is annoying on IPv4 only boxes.

# If set on you can experience a longer connection delay in many cases.
