You will need to install vsftpd as a ftp server for you server. You can install this as a rpm by obtaining the rpm. This is a example. There are newer releases of vsftpd.
Type this:
Code:
Prompt#wget http://www.vsftpdrocks.org/vsftpd-1.1.3-8.i386.rpm
Once you have the rpm you will need to install it.
Type this:
Code:
Prompt#rpm -ivh vsftpd-1.1.3-8.i386.rpm
If you plan to use the basic default configuration you can start the daemon:
Type this:
Code:
/etc/init.d/vsftpd start
Now create your user and set his home directory as his landing point.
Type this:
Code:
Prompt#useradd username -d /var/www/html/
Next set the password.
Type this:
Code:
Prompt#passwd username
Enter a password and attempt to login via ftp. You will have to set the directory permission to allow changes from that user:
Type this:
Code:
Prompt#chown username:username /var/www/html
Now test.
This is just a basic setup of the vsftpd daemon. Please see the vstpd forums for more help.
