Step 7: Installing FTP Server

A project log for Linux Tutorial: Odroid U3 Server w/ Seafile Cloud

I posting this to give a feel for the Odroid U3. There is a forum but not a lot of documentation out there.

We have one last software that we would like to add to our server. We have now completed a LAMP server with Seafile personal cloud service but there is one more piece I would like to add to make for a robust development server. We are going to add an FTP server. First we need to change ownership of the /var/www file.

Type the command:

sudo chown -R odroid /var/www

Next install vsftpd by the command:

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

then we need to change the configuration file with the command:

sudo nano /etc/vsftpd

change anonymous_enable to YES

uncomment local_enable and write_enable

then add the following lines to the bottom of the file

force-dot-files=YES

Ctrl x y and enter to save

sudo service vsftpd restart

Finally we can check to make sure the FTP server is running properly. Open Filezilla and enter the IP address, user, password and port 21. Log in to the server. It should log right in. You can move files and manipulate directories to make sure it is all working.
