FTP on Ubuntu 16.04

[pi0tr3k]

Hi guys,

I cant make my FTP working .. I tried few tuts online and still I cant connect via FTP - it says

Error:    Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error:    Could not connect to server

What I did:

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf

uncommented
enable local_enable = YES;
write_enable = YES;
local_umask = 022;

added
local_root=/usr/share/nginx/html

systemctl restart vsftpd

I run nginx on Ubuntu 16.04

Thx in advance

have you opened your firewall (if present)
have you tried adding local ftp-users?

a relatively good tutorial is this one: https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...vsftpd-for-a-user-s-directory-on-ubuntu-16-04

what does sysstemctl says? - check the status

systemctl status vsftpd

Hi, I followed the link you provide me, and everything works great...

There is one little problem only: every file I upload has -rw------- permissions only, and I have to chmod -R 755 /home/user every time I upload a file to read it in my browser and change the permissions to -rwxr-xr-x ...

I dont know whats wrong, but it aint funny, do you have maybe a suggestion how to fix it so I dont have to chmod my dirs every time ?

Thanks a lot

that's relativly easy to achive

edit your /etc/vsftpd.conf

search for
local_umask
if it's commented out, enable it
it should then look like this:

local_umask=022

additionaly you can comment in / modify

chmod_enable=YES
file_open_mode=0755

after a restart of the vsftpd it should now create files with chmod 755 -> ergo umask 022
