Install FTP service under linux centos

 As an FTP server, vsftpd is very common in Linux systems; the following describes how to install vsftp on the centos system.
I have already said that Apache, mysql, php, phpmyadmin are installed under Linux.
What is vsftpd
vsftpd is one of the most respected FTP server programs in Linux distributions. Features are small and light, safe and easy to use.
The name of vsftpd stands for "very secure FTP daemon", security is one of the top issues considered by its developer Chris Evans. At the very beginning of this FTP server design and development, high security is a goal.
Install vsftpd
1. Execute the following command as administrator (root)

yum install vsftpd

2. Set boot to start vsftpd ftp service

chkconfig Vsftpd on

3. Start vsftpd service

service vsftpd start

Manage vsftpd related commands:
Stop vsftpd: service vsftpd stop
Restart vsftpd: service vsftpd Restart
Configure the firewall
Open the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file

vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Add the following code before the REJECT line

- A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT

Save and close files, restart the firewall

service iptables start

Configure vsftpd Server
The default configuration file is /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, which you can open with a text editor.

vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

Add ftp user
The following is to add ftpuser user, set the root directory to /home/wwwroot/ftpuser, forbid this user to log in to SSH Permissions and restrict access to other directories.
1, modify /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
will be the next three lines

#chroot_list_enable=YES

# (default follows)

#chroot_list_file =/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

Change to

chroot_list_enable=YES

# (default follows)

chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list< Br>
2, increase user ziyouwu, point to the directory /home/wwwroot/ziyouwu, prohibit login SSH permissions.

useradd -d /home/wwwroot/ziyouwu -g ftp -s /sbin/nologin ziyouwu

3. Set user password

passwd ziyouwu

4, edit the file chroot_list:

vi /etc/vsftpd/chroot_list

The content is the ftp user name, each user accounted for one line, such as:
ziyouwu
user1
User2
6, restart vsftpd

service vsftpd restart

The error occurred
1,500 OOPS: cannot change directory Solution:
Enter the command at the terminal:< Br>

setsebool -P ftpd_disable_trans 1

service vsftpd restart

It's OK! Reason: This is because the server has selinux enabled, which limits FTP login
