How to Add Proftpd in CentOS 7 for ftp access.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Add the EPEL Repository
\nProFTPD is part of Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL), which is a community repository of non-standard packages for the RHEL distribution. First, we\u2019ll install the EPEL repository:<\/p>\n
\n# rpm -iUvh http:\/\/dl.fedoraproject.org\/pub\/epel\/7\/x86_64\/e\/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm\n\n<\/pre>\nStep 2: Install ProFTPD<\/p>\n
Let’s update first:<\/p>\n
\n# yum -y update\n\n<\/pre>\nThen let\u2019s install ProFTPD and any required packages:<\/p>\n
\n# yum -y install proftpd\n\n<\/pre>\nStep 3: Configure ProFTPD
\nFor a refresher on editing files with vim see: New User Tutorial: Overview of the Vim Text Editor<\/p>\nLet\u2019s edit the configuration file for ProFTPD:<\/p>\n
\n# nano \/etc\/proftpd.conf\n\n<\/pre>\nChange the ServerName to the hostname of your server. In the case below, ftp.domainname.com is an example:<\/p>\n
\nServerName \u201cftp.domainname.com\u201d\n\n<\/pre>\nEnabling TLS In ProFTPD
\nAdd and modify the lines as below.<\/p>\n\n\n# nano \/etc\/proftpd.conf\n[...]\nDefaultRoot ~ !adm\nPassivePorts 60000 65535\n[...] \n\n#\n TLSEngine on\n TLSRequired on\n TLSRSACertificateFile \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/proftpd.pem\n TLSRSACertificateKeyFile \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/proftpd.pem\n TLSCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!DES\n TLSOptions NoCertRequest\n TLSVerifyClient off\n TLSRenegotiate ctrl 3600 data 512000 required off timeout 300\n TLSLog \/var\/log\/proftpd\/tls.log\n# \n# TLSSessionCache shm:\/file=\/var\/run\/proftpd\/sesscache\n# \n#\n[...] \n\n<\/pre>\nExit and save the file with the command :wq .<\/p>\n
Restart the ProFTPD service:<\/p>\n
\n# systemctl restart proftpd\n\n<\/pre>\nThen set the ProFTPD service to start at boot:<\/p>\n
\n# systemctl enable proftpd\n\n<\/pre>\nAnd verify your work by checking the status of ProFTPD:<\/p>\n
\n# systemctl status proftpd\n\n<\/pre>\nStep 4: Allow ProFTPD Through the Firewall
\nAllow the default FTP port, port 21, through firewalld:<\/p>\n\n# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=21\/tcp\n# firewall-cmd --add-port=60000-65535\/tcp --permanent\n<\/pre>\nAnd reload the firewall:<\/p>\n
\nfirewall-cmd --reload\n\n<\/pre>\nIn order to use TLS, we must create an SSL certificate. Create it in \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs, we can generate the SSL certificate as follows:<\/p>\n
\n# openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/proftpd.pem -out \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/proftpd.pem\n\n<\/pre>\n[root@webhost certs]# openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/proftpd.pem -out \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/proftpd.pem -nodes -days 365\nGenerating a 1024 bit RSA private key\n.++++++\n...........................................................++++++\nwriting new private key to '\/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/proftpd.pem'\n-----\nYou are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated\ninto your certificate request.\nWhat you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.\nThere are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank\nFor some fields there will be a default value,\nIf you enter '.', the field will be left blank.\n-----\nCountry Name (2 letter code) [XX]:US\nState or Province Name (full name) []:Texas\nLocality Name (eg, city) [Default City]:Austin\nOrganization Name (eg, company) [Default Company Ltd]:TestCo\nOrganizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:IT\nCommon Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:webhost.domainname.com\nEmail Address []:test@gmail.com\n\n<\/pre>\n\n# chmod 0440 \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/proftpd.pem\n<\/pre>\nRestart:<\/p>\n
\n# systemctl restart proftpd.service\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How to Add Proftpd in CentOS 7 for ftp access.
