- Install vsftpd

- or
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vsftpd
- Configure vsftpd
sudo vim /etc/vsftpd.conf
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. #write_enable=YES # # Enable PASV # pasv_enable=YES pasv_promiscuous=YES pasv_min_port=7000 pasv_max_port=7100
sudo service vsftpd restart
- Open ports 21 & 7000-7100 to this server in your firewall.
Interesting dilemma... passive mode doesn't work for SHIT if the client is behind a firewall.
Also: The Windows FTP command-line client (ftp.exe
) does not support the passive mode, on any version of Windows. It makes it pretty useless nowadays due to ubiquitous firewalls and NATs.
Use any thirdparty Windows FTP command-line client instead. Most other support the passive mode.
Even just accessing your FTP server with a web browser (ftp://server.address) works better...
