Configuring ftp for LAMP SERVER through vsftd

1. Download the FTP Package:

root@www:~#
aptitude -y install vsftpd
or
apt-get install vsftpd


2. Now we configure our ftp server to suit the total LAMP:

root@www:~#
vi /etc/vsftpd.conf


# line 23: no anonymous

anonymous_enable=
NO


# line 26: uncomment ( allow local user )

local_enable=YES

# line 29: uncomment( writable )

write_enable=YES

# line 97,98: uncomment ( allow ascii mode )

ascii_upload_enable=YES
ascii_download_enable=YES

# line 117, 118: uncomment ( enable chroot )

chroot_local_user=YES
chroot_list_enable=YES

# line 120: uncomment ( specify chroot list )

chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

# line 126: uncomment

ls_recurse_enable=YES

# add at the last line

# specify root directory ( if don't specify, users' home directory become FTP home directory)

local_root=public_html


# use localtime

use_localtime=YES


root@www:~#
vi /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list


# add users you allow to move over their home directory

mehedi
hasan
mithu


root@www:~#
/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

Stopping FTP server: vsftpd.
Starting FTP server: vsftpd.


=====================================================================

But in our case we will configure it to support LAMP SERVER. so we will not specify
local_root=public_html(commented by #). So users' home directory will become FTP home directory.

=====================================================================


3.Now we will add user for each vhost decleared in Apache2 (i.e. LAMP Server)

    # useradd -d /var/www/mehedi.com mehedi
    # passwd mehedi
    # chown mehedi:mehedi mehedi.com
    # chmod 755 mehedi.com

Similarly

    # useradd -d /var/www/hasan.com hasan
    # passwd hasan
    # chown hasan:hasan hasan.com
    # chmod 755 hasan.com
