Secure Your Ubuntu FTP Serverīefore setting up a connection, however, you'll need to ensure FTP ports are open in Ubuntu. When you first connect to your Ubuntu FTP server, you should see testfile.txt. With the username and password set, create a test file in the account's home folder to confirm it works: cd /home/username (Substitute "username" with your intended username.) sudo password username With this you can use any FTP client to access the files hosted on the server via vsftpd.

The first thing you need is an FTP user account. With vsftpd installed you can begin configuration. With that done, launch the service with: sudo systemctl start vsftpdĬonfirm the server is running with: sudo systemctl enable vsftpd This means if anything goes wrong, the default config can be restored. Start by making a copy of the original config file. Once installed, it's time to configure vsftpd. If not, simply install with sudo apt install vsftpd You should find vsftpd near the bottom of the list. To check, open a terminal window and input sudo apt list -installed Follow the steps below to install and configure an FTP server on Ubuntu with vsftpd.

Now you should be able to login as root with your SSH keys.Installing an FTP server on Ubuntu is straightforward. If the SFTP Protocol is specified, it is possible to specify the Logon Type as "Key File" and specify the location of the private key file ( my-ssh-key). This is done (I believe) in the profile settings in the Site Manager of the FileZilla client. Copy the contents of my-ssh-key.pub into this file: /root/.ssh/authorized-keys (using sudo access).Ĭonfigure FileZilla to use Key logon. Login to Ubuntu with your account with sudo access. Generate an SSH keypair, if you don't have one (can be done with this command: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f my-ssh-key - this will generate 2 files: my-ssh-key and my-ssh-key.pub). In order for you to log in as root with FileZilla (or any other SFTP tool), you need to setup SSH key authentication. Root access with password is disabled by default on Ubuntu. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on FileZilla, so for specific instructions please refer to FileZilla documentation.
