How to set options for VSFTPD and what other settings are? for this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and solutions in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and easy way.

Vsftpd is the most popular FTP server program in the Linux distribution. It is characterized by small and light, safe and easy to use. It is a bit troublesome to configure. The configuration of vsftpd.conf file is relatively simple, so we can set it as follows:

Setting options for VSFTPD

The configuration file / etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf for VSFTPD is a text file. The line that begins with the "#" character is the comment line. Each option is set to one line and formatted as "option=value". Note that there is no space on both sides of the "=" sign. In addition to this main profile, you can also set personal profiles for specific users, as described later.

The vsftpd.conf file that comes with the VSFTPD package is relatively simple to configure and very paranoid (the document calls itself). We can set it up according to the actual situation to make VSFTPD more available.

1. Other settings

Setproctitle_enable=YES | NO

YES,VSFTPD displays the status of each session (session) in the list of system processes. That is, the process report will show what each vsftpd session is doing (suspending, downloading, etc.), such as using ps-ef | grep ftp. For security purposes, consider turning this option off. NO, the process report shows only one vsftpd process running. The default is NO.

Text_userdb_names=YES | No

When a user logs in and uses instructions such as ls-al, the user and group information field of the directory list defaults to the owner's UID, not the file owner's name. If you want the name of the owner to appear, turn this function on. The default is NO.

User_localtime=YES | NO

The default is NO. YES,VSFTPD uses your local time zone when displaying a list of directories. The default is to display the GMT time. Similarly, the time value returned by the ftp command "MDTM" is also affected by this option.

Check_shell=YES | NO

This option takes effect only for VSFTPD that do not use PAM mode. When this option is turned off, VSFTPD does not check the / etc/shells file for a valid user shell when the local user logs in. The default is YES.

Nopriv_user=

Specify a user to use when VSFTPD does not want any permissions. The user * is a dedicated user, not the user nobody. On most machines, nobody users are used for a large number of important things. The default is nobody.

Pam_service_name=

Indicates the name of the PAM profile that VSFTPD uses when authenticating the service with PAM. The default is ftp.

From the above reading, you have some understanding of other aspects of VSFTPD's setting options.
