If you already have a user that you want to grant FTP access, skip the 1st step.To test the FTP server, we will create a new user. Reload the UFW rules by disabling and re-enabling UFW: sudo ufw disable sudo ufw enable Creating FTP User # To open port 21 (FTP command port), port 20 (FTP data port), and 30000-31000 (Passive ports range), run the following commands: sudo ufw allow 20:21/tcp sudo ufw allow 30000:31000/tcp Save the file and restart the vsftpd service for changes to take effect: sudo systemctl restart vsftpd Opening the Firewall # Listen = NO listen_ipv6 = YES anonymous_enable = NO local_enable = YES write_enable = YES dirmessage_enable = YES use_localtime = YES xferlog_enable = YES connect_from_port_20 = YES chroot_local_user = YES allow_writeable_chroot = YES pasv_min_port = 30000 pasv_max_port = 31000 userlist_enable = YES userlist_file = /etc/er_list userlist_deny = NO secure_chroot_dir = /var/run/vsftpd/empty pam_service_name = vsftpd rsa_cert_file = /etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem rsa_private_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem ssl_enable = YES To ensure that only the local users can access the FTP server, search for the anonymous_enable and local_enable directives and verify your configuration match to lines below: Start by opening the vsftpd configuration file: sudo nano /etc/nf 1. For all available options, visit the official vsftpd Most of the settings are well documented inside the configuration file. The vsftpd server can be configured by editing the /etc/nf file. Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rvice enabled vendor preset: enabled)Īctive: active (running) since Wed 19:00:41 BST 9s ago The output will look something like below, showing that the vsftpd service is active and running: To verify it, print the service status: sudo systemctl status vsftpd The ftp service will automatically start after the installation process is complete. To install it, run the following commands: sudo apt update sudo apt install vsftpd The vsftpd package is available in the standard Raspbian repositories. Running an FTP server doesn’t require a graphical interface, so our recommendation is to use the Raspbian Lite image and enable SSH We will also show you how to configure vsftpd to restrict users to their home directory and encrypt the entire transmission with SSL/TLS.įor this project, you should have Raspbian installed on your Raspberry Pi We’ll use vsftpd, which a stable, secure, and fast FTP server. This tutorial explains how to install and configure an FTP server on Raspberry Pi that you use to share files between your devices.
