Today, the editor will share with you the relevant knowledge points about how to install ProFTPD in Linux. The content is detailed and the logic is clear. I believe most people still know too much about this knowledge, so share this article for your reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article. Let's take a look.

ProFTPD is a FTP server program on Unix platform or Unix-like platform (such as Linux, FreeBSD, etc.).

Install ProFTPD

ProFTPD is located in the EPEL repository, and you need to install it first:

Yum-y install epel-release

Run yum updates to ensure that everything is up to date

Yum-y update

Start installing ProFTPD

Yum-y install proftpd

Configure ProFTPD

Nano / etc/proftpd.conf

Change the server name:

ServerName "ProFTPD server"

To your server hostname. Then continue to save the file. Enable and start Proftpd to continue and restart the service and enable it. On CentOS 7: restart the service:

Systemctl restart proftpd

Ensure that the service will start after reboot:

Systemctl enable proftpd

On CentOS 6 (and below): restart the service:

Service proftpd restart

Ensure that the service will start on restart:

Chkconfig-add proftpdchkconfig proftpd onEnable FTP in the firewall

If you are currently using a firewall, you need to allow incoming FTP connections.

Firewalld allows incoming ports:

Firewall-cmd-permanent-add-port=21/tcp

Then reload the firewall:

Firewall-cmd-reload

Iptables add a new rule:

Iptables-An INPUT-p tcp-m tcp-- dport 20:21-j ACCEPT

Save the new firewall rule set:

Iptables-save > / etc/sysconfig/iptables

Enable passive connection in ProFTPD

Passive mode can sometimes address the ability of some clients to connect to FTP servers that may have been blocked by firewalls. If you encounter problems with remote connections and want you to try to enable passive connections in ProFTPD, you need to edit / etc/proftpd.conf nano / etc/proftpd.conf

And add the following line:

PassivePorts 60000 65535AllowStoreRestart onAllowRetrieveRestart onTimeoutNoTransfer 65535ListOptions "- la" TimeoutIdle 65535

Then, you also need to add the passive scope iptables: add a new rule to the firewall:

Iptables-An INPUT-p tcp-m tcp-- dport 600000 tcp 65535-j ACCEPT

Save the rule set:

Iptables-save > / etc/sysconfig/iptables

Firewalld: add a new port range:

Firewall-cmd-permanent-add-port=60000-65535/tcp

Reload the firewall:

Firewall-cmd-reload

Testing the FTP service you can first test the FTP configuration locally to ensure that the daemon is running using netstat

# netstat-plan | grep: 21tcp6 0 0: 21: * LISTEN 22089/proftpd: (acc

You can also connect locally by installing a ftp client

Yum install-y ftp

Then establish a connection to localhost or 127.0.0.1

# ftp localhostTrying:: 1...Connected to localhost (:: 1) .220 FTP Server ready.Name (localhost:root):

And enter a valid user name and password, which should be authenticated. If it does not allow you to enter, the authentication message will be written to / var/log/secure.
