How do I set up the vsftpd daemon to accept connections from another computers?

   To install ftp sever (vsftpd) click here

Configure /etc/vsftpd.conf

The default vsftpd configuration file is /etc/vsftpd.conf. You need to edit this file using text editor such as vi:
$ sudo vi /etc/vsftpd.conf

Add the following line (uncomment line) to the vsftpd configuration file:
local_enable=YES
Above config directive will allow local users to log in via ftp

If you would like to allow users to upload file, add the following to the file:
write_enable=YES

For security you may restrict local users to their home directories. Add the following to the file:
chroot_local_user=YES

Save and close the file.

Next Step: Restart vsftpd

To restart vsftpd type the command :
$ sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

output:
vishal@Eva:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
[sudo] password for vishal:
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service vsftpd restart

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities,
e.g. stop vsftpd ; start vsftpd. The restart(8) utility is also available.
vsftpd stop/waiting
vsftpd start/running, process 11351





now test this by going to your browser and typing following address:

ftp://127.0.0.1
