Configure FTP Server in RHEL 7/8

November 15, 2020

Hi Friends,

In this video I have provided the detailed step by step procedure to configure and use FTP service in RHEL 7/8.

Please follow below steps to configure FTP Service:

1. Login as root user and configure YUM if not done earlier. Please follow this link to configure YUM in RHEL 7.

2. Install FTP and VSFTPD packages from Repository.
# yum install ftp vsftpd -y

3. Enable VSFTPD service to auto start after boot.
# systemctl enable vsftpd

4. Start VSFTPD service.
# systemctl start vsftpd

5. Add service in the firewall so that the firewall doesn’t block it.
# firewall-cmd –permanent –add-service=ftp

6. Restart the firewall service.
# firewall-cmd –reload

7. Make required changes in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file after taking its backup and then save it.
# cd /etc/vsftpd
# cp vsftpd.conf vsftpd.conf.bak
# vim vsftpd.conf

8. Test FTP service on localhost, provide requested credentials of FTP user.
# ftp localhost
or
# ftp 192.168.1.108 (Your IP Address)

9. Login at client machine and FTP, provide user credentials.

You are done. Now you can copy or paste file using below commands:
get ==. to copy file from server
put == to paste file on server
mget and mput for multiple files.

Thanks for your time…
