This brief tutorial is going to show you how to install and configure VSFTPD server in Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a TCP protocol for uploading and downloading files between two networked computers. The machine with the FTP server installed on is considered the server.
A component of the FTP server called daemon continuously listen for FTP requests from the clients. When a request is received, the daemon checks the user’s login credentials and allows or denies the connection.
Access to the server can be managed in two ways: Anonymous and Authenticated.
In an anonymous mode, remote clients or users can access the server using the default account called anonymous and sending an email address as their password. Users are allow to only download content in this mode, although it can be changed to allow upload of content.
In an authenticated mode, users or remote clients can access the server with a pre-defined username and password. Only authenticated users are allowed to connect in this mode.
