VSFTPD CentOS

1. Install vsftpd:
   # yum install vsftpd
2. To start after reboot:
   # chkconfig vsftpd on
3. Edit /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf:
   anonymous_enable=NO
   chroot_local_user=YES
   userlist_deny=NO
   userlist_enable=YES
   userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.user_list
4. Edit or create /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.user_list and add usernames with read write permissions
   user1
   user2
5. Add ftp user:
    # /usr/sbin/useradd -g 50 -p password -s /bin/false -d /var/www/html/folder/ user1
6. Set folder owner:
    # chown -R user1.apache /var/www/html/folder/
7. Set shell:
    # chsh -s /sbin/nologin user1
8. Configure SELinux:
    # /usr/sbin/setsebool -P ftp_home_dir 1
    # /usr/sbin/setsebool -P allow_ftpd_full_access 1
9. Configure iptables to open port 21

This will prevent errors if permissions of folders sets correctly (530 login incorrect, 553 Could not create file, 500...)
