here<\/a>.<\/p>\nMy client likes to send me a huge data file (More than 10GB after compressed). Since I don’t care about the security during the transfer, I decide to go with the old school technology: FTP.<\/p>\n
Basically, I need to set up a FTP server with virtual user. In the other words, the log in used by the FTP server has nothing to do with my system login, and I can easily disable that at any time.<\/p>\n
0.) Make sure port 21 is opened. You can update this setting in the Fedora Firewall settings.<\/p>\n
1.) Install Pure-FTPd<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo yum install pure-ftpd -y\r\n<\/pre>\n2.) Create a user for Pure-FTPd, here I simply call it ftpuser<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\r\nsudo adduser ftpuser\r\n<\/pre>\n3.) Let say, we want to create a user called guest to access the ftp server. guest is a virtual user, and its virtual home is in \/home\/ftpuser\/guest<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo mkdir \/home\/ftpuser\/guest\r\nsudo chown -R ftpuser:ftpuser \/home\/ftpuser\/\r\nsudo chmod a+rw -R \/home\/ftpuser\/\r\n<\/pre>\n4.) Edit the Pure-FTPd configuration<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo nano \/etc\/pure-ftpd\/pure-ftpd.conf\r\n<\/pre>\n5.) Uncomment the following:<\/p>\n
\r\nPureDB \/etc\/pure-ftpd\/pureftpd.pdb\r\n<\/pre>\n6.) Start the Pure-FTPd<\/p>\n
\r\n\/etc\/init.d\/pure-ftpd start\r\n<\/pre>\nIf you want to start Pure-FTPd automatically, include this line in \/etc\/rc.local<\/strong><\/p>\n7.) Create a user and add it into the Pure-FTPd database:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo pure-pw useradd guest -u ftpuser -d \/home\/ftpuser\/guest\/\r\n<\/pre>\nYou can also set the quota and maximum space:
\n1000 files, 100MB quota<\/p>\n
\r\npure-pw useradd guest -u ftpuser -d \/home\/ftpuser\/guest\/ -n 1000 -N 100 \r\n<\/pre>\n8.) Set the password in case you forget the enter the password:<\/p>\n
\r\npure-pw passwd guest\r\n<\/pre>\n9.) Update the database:<\/p>\n
\r\npure-pw mkdb\r\n<\/pre>\nThat’s it!<\/p>\n
