Install config and connect using FTP server

The specific program we’ll be installing is called vsftpd (366 kB) and it stands for Very Secure FTP Daemon. It’s a super dooper lightweight FTP server. It’s great, and you’ll love it.

Installation

1. apt-get install vsftpd and press Y

Configuration

1. nano /etc/vsftpd.conf will open the file inside SSH so you can make edits and tweaks
2. Double-check and glance over the file and make sure you see anonymous_enable=NO to prevent random dudes from connecting to your VPS, that could be bad.
3. Please uncomment (just remove #) and make it so: write_enable=YES – now we can upload files
4. Let’s save and restart the vsFTPd service
5. CTRL + X then Y and press Enter
6. service vsftpd restart

You can now launch up FileZilla and connect with root credentials using port 21. Typically, anything you upload to /var/www/html will be visible on the web.

This concludes the tutorial, thanks for your time.
