[root@linux
~]#
Once the installation of package completes, enable
the vsftpd service at startup. This can be done using the following command,
[root@linux
~]# systemctl enable vsftpd.service
ln -s
'/usr/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service'
'/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vsftpd.service'
[root@linux
~]#
Then start the service using systemctl as below,
[root@linux
~]# systemctl start vsftpd.service
[root@linux
~]#
Now FTP Service is enabled and available for
localhost. To make available through LAN or outside network, this has to be
enabled through firewall,
To do the same, following is the command to allow
ftp through firewall,
[root@linux
~]#
[root@linux
~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=ftp
Success
To save the rule, execute the following command,
[root@linux
~]# firewall-cmd --reload
success
[root@linux
~]#
Now we are ready with FTP Server configuration.
From any other machine, just go to browser and type ftp://192.168.x.x/
and it will open list of files which are available in FTP default directory
