Configuring VSFTPD server for secure connection (TLS / SSL / SFTP)
This article is related to FTP programs, namely VSFTPD on RPM-Based, especially CentOS. Except for installation instructions must be adjusted to the existing Linux distribution.
Traditional FTP is generally not safe, because when you log in with your username and password the transmitted data is in text form, this increases the security gap which can allow the sniffing process on your network by people who are not entitled and with it’s easy to read the data you’re transferring. Therefore there was an addition to the new security for this FTP problem. Here we will make it easy for you to create/configure your VSFTPD server using OpenSSL encryption so that your username and password and even data files will be encrypted during the transfer.
