FTP

The smallest of the three popular FTP servers

  1. Install from web-interface or command-line: “opkg install vsftpd”
  2. You might want to start and enable the vsftpd service in web-interface “System/Startup”
  3. Configuration file is located in “/etc/vsftpd.conf”
  4. To set the default FTP folder add the following to the config file: “local_root=/srv”
  5. To enable PASSIVE mode, add the following to the config file: “pasv_enable=YES”, “pasv_min_port=10090”, and “pasv_max_port=10100”

The vsftpd service can be controlled with the usual commands: 

   /etc/init.d/vsftpd start     (Start the service)
   /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop      (Stop the service)
   /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart   (Restart the service)
   /etc/init.d/vsftpd reload    (Reload configuration files (or restart if that fails))
   /etc/init.d/vsftpd enable    (Enable service autostart)
   /etc/init.d/vsftpd disable   (Disable service autostart)
