FTP is a common protocol used to transfer files between a client and server. The document discusses configuring an FTP server on Linux using the vsftpd package. Key steps include installing vsftpd, configuring the vsftpd.conf file to enable anonymous downloads and local logins, and testing access locally and remotely using FTP, Telnet, and netstat commands. The document also provides recommendations for security settings like restricting users in ftpusers and enabling TCP Wrappers firewall rules.
Computers are connected in a network to exchange information or resources with each other. Two or more computer are connected through network media called computer media.
There are a number of network devices or media that are involved to form computer network.
Computer loaded with Linux Operation System can also be a part of network whether it is a small or large network by multitasking and multi user natures.
Maintaining of system and network up and running is a task of System / Network Administrator’s job. In this article we are going to review frequently used network configuration and troubleshoot commands in Linux.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Ftp server
1. FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used as one of the most common file server, which used to
download/upload files from/to web server over the Internet. Most web based download sites use the built in
FTP capabilities of web browsers and therefore most server oriented operating systems usually include an
FTP server application as part of the software suite. Linux is no exception.
This chapter will show you how to make your Linux server into an FTP server using the default Very Secure
FTP Daemon (VSFTPD) package included in Fedora.
Service Profile: FTP
Type -: System V-managed service
Package -: vsftpd
Daemon -: /usr/sbin/vsftpd
Script -: /etc/init.d/vsftpd
Ports -: 21 (ftp), 20 (ftp-data)
Configuration -: /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers, /etc/pam.d/vsftpd
Log -: /var/log/xferlog
Related -: tcp_wrappers, ip_conntrack_ftp, ip_nat_ftp
Installing vsftpd
Most RedHat and Fedora Linux software product packages are available in the RPM format, whereas Debian
and Ubuntu Linux use DEB format installation files. When searching for these packages remember that the
filename usually starts with the software package name and is followed by a version number, as in vsftpd-
1.2.1-5.i386.rpm.
[root@localhost ~]#rpm –ivh /mnt/Server/vsftpd-1.2.1-5.i386.rpm
Or
[root@localhost ~]#yum install vsftpd
To start, stop, and restart vsftpd after booting use the service command:
[root@localhost ~]#chkconfig vsftpd on
Testing Of vsftpd
You can test your ftp server by connecting it through ftp or telnet or using netstat command :
Using FTP service
[root@localhost ~]#ftp localhost (or system ip)
Created by-: Pawan Kumar Thakurela (for any query/suggestion please mail me pawnbeeta@hotmail.com)
2. Using Telnet Service
[root@localhost ~]#telnet 0 21
connecting with 0.0.0.0
[root@localhost ~]#telnet 0 20
Using netstat Command
[root@localhost ~]#netstat –a | grep ftp
tcp 0 0 *:ftp *.* LISTEN
Configuring /etc/vsftpd.cong file
VSFTPD allows only anonymous FTP downloads to remote users, not uploads from them. This can be
changed by modifying the anon_upload_enable directive shown later.
VSFTPD doesn't allow anonymous users to create directories on your FTP server. You can change this by
modifying the anon_mkdir_write_enable directive.
VSFTPD logs FTP access to the /var/log/vsftpd.log log file. You can change this by modifying the
xferlog_file directive.
By default VSFTPD expects files for anonymous FTP to be placed in the /var/ftp directory. You can
change this by modifying the anon_root directive. There is always the risk with anonymous FTP that
users will discover a way to write files to your anonymous FTP directory. You run the risk of filling up
your /var partition if you use the default setting. It is best to make the anonymous FTP directory reside in
its own dedicated partition.
All above changes can be configure in the configuration file of vsftpd
[root@localhost ~]#vim /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
# Allow anonymous FTP?
anonymous_enable=YES
# The directory which vsftpd will try to change
# into after an anonymous login. (Default = /var/ftp)
anon_root=/data/directory
# Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.
local_enable=YES
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
# (Needed even if you want local users to be able to upload files)
write_enable=YES
# Uncomment to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
# has an effect if global write enable is activated. Also, you will
# obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.
#anon_upload_enable=YES
Created by-: Pawan Kumar Thakurela (for any query/suggestion please mail me pawnbeeta@hotmail.com)
3. # Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to
create
# new directories.
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
# Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
xferlog_enable=YES
# You may override where the log file goes if you like.
# The default is shown below.
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
After changing in the configuration file restart the vsftpd service
[root@localhost ~]#service vsftpd restart
Set the message in ftp
Create a file in /var/ftp/pub directory with name .message
Enter your message in this file.
FTP Security
FTP has a number of security drawbacks, but you can overcome them in some cases. You can restrict an
individual Linux user's access to non-anonymous FTP, and you can change the configuration to not display
the FTP server's software version information, but unfortunately, though very convenient, FTP logins and
data transfers are not encrypted.
The /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers File
For added security, you may restrict FTP access to certain users by adding them to the list of users in the
/etc/vsftpd.ftpusers file. The VSFTPD package creates this file with a number of entries for
privileged users that normally shouldn't have FTP access. As FTP doesn't encrypt passwords, thereby
increasing the risk of data or passwords being compromised, it is a good idea to let these entries remain and
add new entries for additional security.
[root@localhost ~]#vim /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
Userlist_deny = no
Chroot Enable
Chroot_list = enable
[root@localhost ~]#vim /etc/vsftpd/chroot_list
Enter the user in this file for chrooted users
TCP Wrapper
[root@localhost ~]#vim /etc/host.allow
Created by-: Pawan Kumar Thakurela (for any query/suggestion please mail me pawnbeeta@hotmail.com)
4. Enter here the service and network which you want to allow
vsftpd : 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.0.202
[root@localhost ~]#vim /etc/hosts.deny
Enter here list of networks which you want to deny
Vsftpd : all
Network for security
Port Based Security
[root@localhost ~]#iptables –L
[root@localhost ~]#iptables –t filter –I INPUT –s 192.168.0.0/24 –p tcp –
dport 21 –j ACCEPT or REJECT or DROP
Any One
NOTE-: When SElinux is enabled in your system you can’t list the file in pub directory the run the
following command Capital P
[root@localhost ~]#setsebool –P ftp_home_dir=1
