( Very Secure File Transport Protocol Daemon) is a secure, fast FTP server for Unix/Linux systems. In this how-to article, let us see how to setup a basic FTP server using vsftpd on CentOS 6.5. This procedure will also work on all RHEL CentOS, Scientific Linux 6.x versions. My testbox server hostname and IP Address are server.unixmen.local and 192.168.1.101/24 respectively. Change the values as per your scenario. Install vsftpd All commands should be run with ‘root’ user.

Run the following command in terminal to install vsftpd package: # yum install vsftpd ftp -y Configure vsftpd Edit vsftpd configuration file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, # vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf. Find the following lines and make the changes as shown below: [.] ## Set to 'NO' ## anonymous_enable=NO ## Uncomment ## ascii_upload_enable=YES ascii_download_enable=YES ## Uncomment - Enter your Welcome message - This is optional ## ftpd_banner=Welcome to UNIXMEN FTP service. ## Add at the end of this file ## use_localtime=YES Start the vsftpd service and make it to start automatically on every reboot: # service vsftpd start # chkconfig vsftpd on Create FTP users By default, root user is not allowed to login to ftp server for security purpose. So let us create a testing user called “sk” with password “centos”: # useradd sk # passwd sk Connecting to FTP server Now let us try to connect to FTP server itself with user “sk”: # ftp 192.168.1.101 Connected to 192.168.1.101 (192.168.1.
