How to Enable SSL Support for VSFTPD – RHEL 6 – CentOS 6

Red Hat - CentOS - Fedora, Video Tutorials

FTP, or file transfer protocol, was a popular way to transfer files between local and remote computers in the past. Traditional FTP is rather insecure.

If you still want to use FTP instead of a more secure alternative like SFTP, which uses the SSH protocol to implement file transfers, you can secure it somewhat by configuring FTP to use SSL. You can quite easily configure your vsftpd server to use OpenSSL encryption, so that usernames & password, and even data files, are encrypted during transfer. It takes just a few simple steps. Steps: 1. Check whether the latest mod_ssl installed locate mod_ssl 2. Install the latest mod_ssl via yum yum…
