We can configure some connections options in the next section. The vsftpd server is now installed on our VPS. We can install it by typing: sudo yum install vsftpd The vsftpd server is available in CentOS’s default repositories. In this guide, we will configure vsftpd to use TLS/SSL certificates on a CentOS 6.4 VPS. If you must use FTP, you should at least secure the connection with SSL/TLS certificates. This protocol implements file sharing over SSH. Although very popular and ubiquitous, the use of this method of file transfer has fallen out of favor due to the lack of security inherent in its design.Ī very capable alternative is SFTP, as mentioned above.

Warning: FTP is insecure! Consider using SFTP instead of FTP.įTP, or file transfer protocol, is a way to transfer files between local and remote servers.
