    How To Setup FTP Server with VsFTPd on Fedora 34/33

    By RahulOctober 1, 20212 Mins Read

    VsFTPd stands for “Very Secure FTP Daemon“. So the name of this FTP server also tells that it already have many secur, But now a days security is the first priority for everyone. Our earlier article install vsftpd in centos/rhel describes the basic setup only.

    This article will help you to install vsftpd on Fedora systems.

    Step 1 – Install VsFTPd

    The vsftpd server packages are available under CentOS/RHEL and Fedora default repositories. Just install the package using the following command.

    sudo dnf install vsftpd 
    

    Step 2 – Configure Basic Settings

    Now Edit VsFTPd configuration file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf and do the some basic settings like below. If you are configuring FTP for private users then we strictly advice to disable anonymous login.

    1. Allow anonymous FTP? Set this value to NO to disable anonymous login. default value is YES
        anonymous_enable=NO 
    2. Uncomment below line to allow local system users to log in via ftp
         local_enable=YES
    3. Uncomment below line to enable any form of FTP write command like, creating or uploading files and directory.
         write_enable=YES
    4. Also uncomment the below line to chroot users
         chroot_local_user=YES
    5. Step 3 – Manage VsFTPd Service

      After making all configuration changes restart vsftpd service and try to connect to your FTP server using FileZilla.

      systemctl enable vsftpd.service
      systemctl start vsftpd.service
      

      Let’s open FileZilla client software and connect to your server like the following screenshots.

      Your setup has been successfully completed. You can visit this article to install FileZilla ftp client on Ubuntu, Debian and LinuxMint.

      Hi Rahul
      I was following your steps in configuring the VsFTPD with SSL in one of the RHEL 6.4 servers. However, I get the following error when I issue the command:

      [root@Cent ~]#openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/ssl/vsftpd/vsftpd-private.pem -out /etc/ssl/vsftpd/vsftpd-cert.pem
      Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
      ….+++
      .+++
      writing new private key to ‘/etc/ssl/vsftpd/vsftpd-private.pem’
      /etc/ssl/vsftpd/vsftpd-private.pem: No such file or directory
      140154870036296:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:398:fopen(‘/etc/ssl/vsftpd/vsftpd-private.pem’,’w’)
      140154870036296:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:bss_file.c:400:

      Would greatly appreciate your response on this.

      Regards
      Jo

        Hi Jo,

        It looks /etc/ssl/vsftpd is not created. I have made some changes in the path of certificates in this article. Hope it will work fine now.
