First lets understand what is vsftpd ?

VSFTPD stands for Very Secure FTP Deamon. It is a very light and secure FTP Deamon written from the ground up keeping security in mind.

vsftpd supports anonymous and non-anonymous FTP, Bandwidth limiting, PAM authentication, and Linux sendfile() facility.

Now lets install it for you VPS Hosting.

First we need to log into the Virtual Private Server with the root login details. Then you need to go to the folder /usr/local/src/ with command:

cd /usr/local/src/

Then we need download the latest version of vsftpd using the following command:

wget ftp://vsftpd.beasts.org/users/cevans…d-2.0.5.tar.gz

After the download is complete we need to untar the file with the following command:

tar -zxvf vsftpd-2.0.5.tar.gz

Then go to the directory vsftpd-2.0.5 and make the the file:

cd vsftpd-2.0.5
make

As soon as we make the file we need to execute the file:

make install
cp vsftpd.conf /etc
