FTP - vsftpd

The FTP server I have chosen to use is vsftpd. To install under Debian you can just use apt-get:

apt-get install vsftpd

For config you need to edit the file:

/etc/vsftpd.conf

If you want users to have access to their own home directories on the system then you uncomment out the line:

local_enable=YES

If like me you don't want a "free for all" directorie on the server then change the "anonymous_enable" line from "yes" to "no":

anonymous_enable=NO

for users to actually be able to write files to the server (this is probably the case unless you are only distributing files) you have to uncomment the line:

write_enable=YES
