      <p>File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a TCP protocol for uploading and downloading
43
 
                files between computers. FTP works on a client/server model. The server component is
44
 
                called an <span class="emphasis"><em>FTP daemon</em></span>. It continuously listens for FTP requests
45
 
                from remote clients. When a request is received, it manages the the login and sets up
46
 
                the connection. For the duration of the session it executes any of commands sent by
47
 
                the FTP client.</p>
48
 
      <p>Access to an FTP server can be managed in two ways:</p>
49
 
      <div class="itemizedlist">
50
 
        <ul type="disc" compact="compact">
51
 
          <li>
52
 
            <p>Anonymous</p>
53
 
          </li>
54
 
          <li>
55
 
            <p>Authenticated</p>
56
 
          </li>
57
 
        </ul>
58
 
      </div>
59
 
      <p>In the Anonymous mode, remote clients can access the FTP server by using the
60
 
                default user account called 'anonymous" or "ftp" and
61
 
                sending an email address as the password. In the Authenticated mode a user must
62
 
                have an account and a password. User access to the FTP server directories and files is
63
 
                dependent on the permissions defined for the account used at login. As a general
64
 
                rule, the FTP daemon will hide the root directory of the FTP server and change it to
65
 
                the FTP Home directory. This hides the rest of the file system from remote
66
 
            sessions.</p>

94
 
                <code class="filename">/etc/vsftpd.conf</code>, to
95
 
                change the default settings.
96
 
 
97
 
                By default only anonymous FTP is
98
 
                allowed. If you wish to disable this option, you
99
 
                should change the following line:
100
 
</p>
101
 
        <pre class="programlisting">

        <p>
111
 
                By default, local system users are not allowed to
112
 
                login to FTP server. To change this setting, you
113
 
                should uncomment the following line:

115
 
        <pre class="programlisting">
116
 
#local_enable=YES
117
 
</pre>
118
 
        <p>
119
 
                By default, users are allowed to download files
120
 
                from FTP server. They are not allowed to upload
121
 
                files to FTP server. To change this setting, you
122
 
                should uncomment the following line:

        <pre class="programlisting">
125
 
#write_enable=YES
126

        <p>
128
 
                Similarly, by default, the anonymous users are not

143
