Doubt You Use Linux? Please Try The Live CD Distro

Why many people are reluctant to use Linux? There are so many causes. There is a reason that Linux is hard, too much text-based commands, the GUI display of this less attractive, and many other reasons that semetimes do not make any sense.

Believe me, if you are already familiar with Linux, would be infatuated with Linux. In addition to free, that Linux has a lot of hidden potential that we can explore further. If not, google is doing behind stand up running Linux on Android products.

Well, for those who are still hesitant and not sure what the hell Linux capabilities is a save way try it, namely the Linux Live CD distro.

Live CD distributions do not need to be installed on the computer. Simply insert the CD that contains these distributions on a CD ROM drive, then restart the computer. Thus you do not have to worry if other Operating Systems that already exist on the computer will be lost.

You are interrested to try it out? There are some decent distro you are trying, among other things :
  • Ubuntu
  • Knoppix
  • OpenSuSe
  • Fedora
  • DreamLinux
  • Zenwalk Live
  • etc

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:
