How to Install and Set Up ProFTPD With TLS on Ubuntu
ProFTPD is a feature-rich FTP daemon for Linux and Unix-based OSes. Here's how you can set it up on Ubuntu.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a popular lightweight protocol used to transfer files over a network. Although it is an efficient mechanism for the transmission of data, there is one drawback to it: the data is transmitted and received in plain text. This means the data transfer is unencrypted, and it can be compromised.
Modern FTP servers such as ProFTPD allow support for SSL/TLS. This makes the file transfer between the two systems not only efficient but also safe by adding a security element. Let’s explore how to install and set up ProFTPD with TLS on Ubuntu 22.04.
