Linux VPS3 - FTP
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) enables you to copy files from one computer to another. As a core service, your private server
supports ProFTPD with the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol as well as anonymous configuration for unlimited users.
The software provides secure and configurable FTP and is distributed by the ProFTPD Project (http://www.proftpd.org) and is
available for free under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). As you configure ProFTPD, you must implement
only the application features supported by the current release.
To use FTP to transfer files between your private server and your own local computer system, you must have an FTP client
(or program) installed on your local computer system.
For your private server, configure ProFTPD to suit your use of the software. The ProFTPD configuration file is located at
the following location:
/etc/proftpd.conf
Use an online file editor or transfer the file to your local computer system to make any configuration changes. ProFTPD
runs as a daemon on your private server. The software reads its configuration file each time a process is spawned.
Be certain you download and upload the /etc/proftpd.conf file in ASCII mode if you use FTP. To use anonymous FTP, the user
ftp must exist with FTP privileges on your private server. This user is configured by default in your /etc/passwd file, but
removing or modifying this user could prevent anonymous FTP from functioning on your private server.
