Build FTP Server and Change VSFTPD Configuration

Building an FTP Server on LINUX

To create an FTP server on LINUX (in this tutorial we use the Linux CentOS) could use some ftp server application. One of them is vsftpd (Very Secure FTP Daemon). How to make a ftp server vsftpd menggunkaan are as follows:

• Open the terminal
• Make sure you have root privileges. Type su - and enter your root password.
• Install vsftpd, type yum install vsftpd
• Once installed, restart vsftpd service. Type / etc / init.d / vsftpd start
• Make sure vsftpd runs automatically every time the computer is restarted. Type chkconfig vsftpd on

Vsftpd configuration in /etc/vsftpd /vsftpd.conf.

Change Vsftpd Configuration

This article will discuss some of the vsftpd configuration and how to change it:

* As usual, open the terminal linux.
* Use your favorite text editor (vim)

to edit the file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
* If you want to use anonymous ftp user, add or edit these lines:
o anonymous_enable = YES
* Conversely, if you do not want anonymous users to use ftp, change the value of the line above to NO as below:
o anonymous_enable = NO
* If you want local users (and users of computer users but not root user) can log in using ftp protocol, add or edit these lines:
o local_enable = YES
* Conversely, if you want local users (and users of computer users but not root user) can not log in using ftp protocol change the value of the line above into NO.
* If you want to change the root directory of the anonymous user (default root directorynya no d/var/ftp), add or edit these lines:
o anon_root
* save the configuration

Linux Distro

Linux Distro = Linux Distribution is a member of the family of software distributions built on top of the GNU/Linux. Such distributions consist of a large collection of siftware application such as word processor, spreadsheets, media players and data base applications. The operating system will consist of the linux kernel, usually a set of libraries and utilities trom the GNU project, with graphics support from the X window System. Distribaution optimized for size may not contain X and tend to use more compact alternative to the GNU utilities.

Because most of the kernel and supporting packages are free and open source software. Linux Distribution have taken a wide variety of forms from fully featured desktop and server operating system to minimal envirnments. Aside from certain custom software, a distribution is most simply described as a particular assortment of applications installed on top of a set of libraries married with version of the kernel, such that its out of the box capabilities meet most of the needs of its particular end user base

Programming Languages on Linux

Most Linux distribution support dozens of programming languages. The most common cellection of utilities for building both Linux applications and operating system programs is found within the GNU toolchain, wich includes the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and GNU build system. Amongst others, GCC provides compilers for Ada, C, C++, Java and Fortran. Propietary compilers for Linux include the Intel C++ Compiler, Sun Studio, and IBM XL C/C++ Compiler. Basic is supported in such forms as Gambas., FreeBasic and XBAsic.

Most distribution also include support for PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python and other dinamic languages. While not as common, Linux also supports C# (Via Mono), Vala and scheme A number of Java Virtual Machines and development kits run on Linux, including the original Sun Microsystem JVM (HotSpot), and IBM J2SE RE, as well as many opensource projects like Kaffe.

The two main frameworks for developing graphical applications are those of GNOME and KDE. These projects are based on the GTK+ and Qt Widget toolkits , respectively, which can also be used independently of the larger framework. Both support a wide variety of languages. There are a number of integrated development environments available including Anjuta, Code Blocks , Eclipse, Greany, K Develop, Lazarus, Mono Develop, NetBeans, Qt Creator and Omnis Studio while the long estabilished editors Vim and Emacs remain popular.
