In the Internet age, file transfer is an indispensable part of daily work. FTP (File Transfer Protocol), as a standard network protocol, is widely used to transfer files on the Internet. This article will introduce in detail how to build an FTP server on the CentOS system so that you can easily transfer files.
Before you start building an FTP server, you need to make sure that the CentOS operating system has been installed and that the system can access the Internet normally. In addition, for security reasons, it is recommended that you set a strong password for the CentOS system and update it regularly.
Commonly used FTP server software in CentOS system include vsftpd, ProFTPD, etc. This article takes vsftpd as an example to introduce.
1. Open the terminal and log in as the root user.
2. Run the following command to install vsftpd: yum install vsftpd -y. During the installation process, the system will automatically resolve dependencies and complete the installation.
After the installation is complete, you need to configure vsftpd. The main configuration file of vsftpd is located at /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.
1. Use a text editor such as vim to open the configuration file: vim /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.
2. Modify the configuration options according to your needs. Here are some commonly used configuration options:
anonymous_enable=NO: prohibit anonymous users from logging in.
local_enable=YES: Allow local users to log in.
write_enable=YES: Allow users to upload files.
chroot_local_user=YES: Restrict users to their home directories to improve security.
3. After the modification is completed, save and exit the editor.
After the configuration is complete, you need to start the vsftpd service.
1. Run the following command to start the vsftpd service: systemctl start vsftpd.
2. Run the following command to set the vsftpd service to start automatically at boot: systemctl enable vsftpd.
After starting the vsftpd service, you can use FTP client software (such as FileZilla, WinSCP, etc.) to test the connection and file transfer functions of the FTP server. Enter the IP address, username and password of the CentOS server in the FTP client and perform a connection test. If everything is normal, you should be able to successfully connect to the FTP server and upload and download files.
Security is a very important consideration when setting up an FTP server. Here are some suggestions to improve the security of your FTP server:
1. Use strong passwords: Set complex passwords for FTP users and change them regularly.
2. Limit user permissions: By configuring the chroot function of vsftpd, users can be restricted to their home directories to prevent them from accessing other directories on the system.
3. Firewall settings: Make sure the firewall settings of the CentOS system allow FTP traffic to pass through and restrict unnecessary port access.
4. Back up data regularly: To prevent data loss or damage, please back up important data on the FTP server regularly.
