FTP with Raspberry Pi – anonymous and ftp-user

Instalation FTP (vsftpd):
sudo apt-get install vsftpd

in the file /etc/vsftpd.conf find setting for vsftpd.

You can find setting for enable anonymous, allow log in from local users, enable any form off FTP write command, enable upload files from anonymous users etc:
sudo mcedit /etc/vsftpd.conf

if you don’t install mcedit, you can use “nano” or you can install it:
sudo apt-get install mcedit

after restart vsftd:
sudo service vsftpd restart

You can connect through SFTP protocol (for example FileZilla). I recommend it.

FTP with Raspberry Pi – anonymous user

make directory:
sudo mkdir /var/ftp

the directory has to have owner (now root), it changes to “pi” user:
sudo chown pi /var/ftp

edit the file vsftpd.conf

open the file:
sudo mcedit /etc/vsftpd.conf

if you don’t install mcedit, you can use “nano” or you can install it:
sudo apt-get install mcedit

in the file vsftpd.conf uncomment and change:
anonymous_enable=YES</p> <p>anon_upload_enable=NO</p> <p>

and add this row:
anon_root=/var/ftp

after it have to restart vsftpd:
sudo service vsftpd restart

FTP with Raspberry Pi – ftp user

make directory:
sudo mkdir /var/ftp

make new user (-d makes /home for user):
sudo useradd -d /var/ftp

make password for user:
sudo passwd ftp-user

change owner from root to ftp-user /var/ftp
sudo chown ftp-user /var/ftp

if you want to remove/delete this user, you can follows:
sudo deluser ftp-user
