How to disable ftp access in ubuntu service-ftp?


Asked by Marlee Matthews on Dec 03, 2021 FAQ



After uncommenting the above options, create a /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list containing a list of users one per line. Then restart vsftpd: Also, the /etc/ftpusers file is a list of users that are disallowed FTP access. The default list includes root, daemon, nobody, etc. To disable FTP access for additional users simply add them to the list.
Also,
Any users with SSH access also automatically have access to SFTP, which stands for SSH File Transfer Protocol. However, if you are using an FTP service such as vsftpd and don’t want your FTP users to have SFTP access as well, you can disable this.
Keeping this in consideration, Installation of FTP server in Ubuntu. As in any other Ubuntu like Linux systems, installation of the FTP server comes down to a single command. Open up your terminal and enter the command: The above command will install and start the ftp server on your Linux system.
Indeed,
If you are using UFW that comes standard with Ubuntu, it will block FTP traffic by default. Enter the following commands to open Ports 20 and 21 for FTP traffic: Note: If you are using a different firewall, refer to the instructions to allow access on Port 20 and Port 21. These are the listening ports for the FTP service.
Just so,
In that case FTP Passive Mode must be enabled on our Ubuntu FTP server. To enable FTP Passive Mode, open the /etc/vsftpd.conf. (Note that if the Ubuntu server is behind a firewall, you need to open the port range defined in the configuration along with the FTP port 21.)
