Hi,
Just installed VSFTP via YaST for a proof of concept. I need the
Server it is running on to be capable of Secure FTP. First, I would
like to know if enabling Secure FTP is as easy as just setting the port
number to listen on. If not, what needs to be done?
Secondly, I would like to test and verify Secure FTP works - how would
I go about that using one of the Workstations on my Network?
You need to enable SSL in the config, and also to make a certificate. If
you are port forwarding through a firewall, you also need to specify the
incoming port range.
Hi Ken,
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.
For the moment Port Forwarding is not a concern, however I may need to
revisit this issue.
With regard to my immediate needs, would you please be so kind as to
inform how I would go about generating a certificate and then installing
that certificate?
As for FileZilla, and I imagine you are referring to the FTP Server,
from what I read the FileZilla Server does not support Secure FTP,
unless I am misunderstanding your remarks where you are actually
referring to the client in trying to advise how I would test the Server
If that is the case then I thank you, and I do indeed use the FileZilla
FTP client for my graphical FTP needs.
Thank you again for your time and attention.
