Vsftpd is the acronym of Very Secure FTP Daemon: it is one of the most used
ftp servers on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It is open source
and released under the GPL license, and supports virtual users and SSL for data
encryption. In this tutorial we will see how to install it and configure it on
Linux.
Hi Egidio, I really liked this clear guide you’ve written about configuring vsftpd. I have one sugestion:
upon creating the users password file you suggest creating: /etc/virtual_users.pwd, however upon providing it in the pam config file (/etc/pam.d/vsftpd_virtual) you use a different path: /etc/vsftpd/virtual_users.pwd.
Upon exactly following your guide and suggestions the setup will therefore not work.
