setup an easy ftp server on debian 3.1 linux

Posted by chris on March 10th, 2007 in Linux

I decided to setup an ftp server to allow me to easily upload files from my windows development machine to my debian linux server. vsftpd is an easy to setup and configure ftp server. I probably had this thing going within 10 minutes.

apt-get install vsftpd

By default anonymous connections are allowed so you can begin using it. Since I don’t need anon connections and wanted to allow local users to connect I edited the conf file.

vi /etc/vsftpd.conf

Here are the parameters I set:

anonymous_enable=NO

local_enable=YES

That’s it. I was able to connect from windows using the CLI FTP command and from FileZilla.
