          <h2>Installing the FTP Server</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Log into the Linux device</li>
	<li>Run the following commands in terminal
	<div class="codeBlock"># update software repositories<br />
	sudo apt update<br />
	# install available software updates<br />
	sudo apt upgrade<br />
	# install proftpd<br />
	sudo apt install proftpd -y<br />
	# start proftpd service<br />
	sudo systemctl enable proftpd --now</div>
	</li>
</ol>

<h2>Configuring the FTP Server</h2>

<p>In this example we will be allowing FTP to the /var/www directory to alter web server files</p>

<ol>
	<li>Continue with the following commands
	<div class="codeBlock"># add current user to www-data group<br />
	sudo usermod -aG www-data $USER<br />
	# re-authenticate the user for the new group to take effect<br />
	su $USER<br />
	# list the users groups<br />
	# www-data should be listed<br />
	id<br />
	# change owner of /var/www to the www-data group<br />
	sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www<br />
	# change permissions recursively<br />
	sudo chmod -R ug+rw /var/www</div>
	</li>
</ol>

<h2>Testing the FTP Server</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Download a FTP client, in this tutorial we&#39;ll be using FileZilla FTP Client <a href="https://filezilla-project.org/download.php" target="_blank">Download</a></li>
	<li>Install FileZilla FTP Client</li>
	<li>Input the Linux devices IP address or DNS name and the Linux user&#39;s username and password &gt; Click Quickconnect</li>
	<li>Click the / at the top of the right file tree to get to the rootfs</li>
	<li>Navigate to /var/www</li>
	<li>Create a test file or folder</li>
	<li>You now have FTP access to your Linux server using your standard Linux credentials</li>
</ol>
