WIP!
FTP is often used as a way to remotely access files on servers of other types.
Installing ProFTPd
- sudo apt-get install proftpd
At this point, any user with an account on the LAN can access the machine via ftp.
Accessing FTP through NAT (pfSense here...)
ProFTPD: Firewalls, Routers, and NAT
- sudo vi /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
Lines 51 & 56 need to be un-commented & edited
Choose an available range of ports for PassivePorts.
Set MasqueradeAddress to either the WAN address of your firewall or it's FQDN.
Then create 2 port forwards, one specifically for port 21 (FTP) & one for the the range chosen in PassivePorts.
Managing the FTP server
- sudo service proftpd restart
