How to Set up an FTP Server in Ubuntu Linux
How to Set up an FTP Server in Ubuntu Linux
Steps
- 1Boot up Ubuntu Linux.
- 2Go to Application, then select Accessories and chose Terminal
- 3Enter the following command: “sudo apt-get install vsftpd” (without quotation marks). This will install the FTP server on your system. If you are logged in as the root user, the "sudo" command will not be necessary, since this command is used to give administrative privileges to the user. In this case, you will only need the command "apt-get install vsftpd".
- 4Open the FTP server configuration file. To do so, go to Places and click on Computer.
- 5In the file browser, click the “File System” icon.
- 6Click on the “etc” folder.
- 7Double-click the “vsftpd.conf” icon.
- 8Alter anonymous access. Enter "anonymous_enable=YES" (without quotation marks) to allow anonymous FTP access. The hash (#) at the beginning of each line indicates that this line is commented out and will be ignored. To enable this line, you must remove the hash (#). The parameter "write_enable=YES" (without quotation marks) will allow changes to the filesystem, such as uploading.
- 9Rename the FTP welcome banner. Uncomment it by removing the hash (#), and enter the welcome message. For this example its "ftpd_banner=Welcome to FTP Server!" (without quotation marks).
- 10Click on Save and close the file. (Note: You may need to login as root, then only you will be able to open file in edit mode or else the file will open in read-only mode)
- 11To restart the FTP service, type the following command: “sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart” (without quotation marks). Again, you will only need to use "sudo" if you are no logged as the root user.
- 12Place files on the FTP server. To move files to the server, access the FTP Folder from the command in the image below.

Install the Sharing Service in Ubuntu Linux
Install the Sharing Service in Ubuntu Linux
Install the Sharing Service in Ubuntu Linux
The sharing service or Samba as it is called in Ubuntu is not installed by default. The installation process of Samba varies in complexity depending on the method you will be using. I will show you the most easy and straightforward method to install Samba.First, in Ubuntu, open the Home Folder, located in the Places menu.
Next, right-click on any folder from this window to open a contextual menu. From the contextual menu, click on Sharing Options.
This opens the Folder Sharing window. Check the box next to ’Share this folder’.
A warning window will pop-up stating that the sharing service is not installed. Click on the Install service button.
Note: If you do not receive this warning, it means that the sharing service is already installed and you should be able to share files and folders. To change the Workgroup, follow the instructions found in the next section.
Then type your user account password and click on OK. The installation process will begin.
In a few seconds, you will be notified that all changes have been successfully applied. Click Close and Ubuntu will ask to restart your session.
Save any open files you might have and click Restart session. After the restart, the sharing service is installed and fully functioning.
Configure and change the Workgroup in Ubuntu
In most cases you won’t have to change the Workgroup name because, by default, Ubuntu, Windows and Mac OS X have the same Workgroup name, which is actually “workgroup”. However, if you have to change it follow the steps detailed in this section.Open a Terminal window and type the following command:
sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf.Then, press Enter. If you haven’t previously used the Terminal this session, Ubuntu will ask you to type in your user account password.
Next, the Samba configuration file will open in a gedit window. Scroll down, if necessary, until you find the workgroup line, in the Global Settings section.
Edit the Workgroup name so that it will match the name of the Workgroup you want to add your Ubuntu computer to.
Click on Save and restart Ubuntu so that the new settings get applied.
