Configuring File Services, FTP

#yum install vsftpd
#service vsftpd restart
#chkconfig vsftpd on


Note: Home/default directory of anonymous(unknown)/FTP user is /var/ftp/
Default user: FTP Password: FTP
FTP allows anonymous users to login, without password but it doesn't allow normal user to login with credentials.
Below is login with ftp/ftp

Now login with user subh/subh

FTP didn't allow access of home directory of normal user because  Selinux Booleans for 'ftp_home_directory' is 'off'.

Now we set Selinux Booleans for 'ftp_home_dir' to 'on'

#setsebool -P ftp_home_dir on    --> It takes time, as the change is permanent.

#getsebool  -a | grep ftp

Now we will try login ftp with user 'subh/subh:

To come out of FTP, use 'bye'
