[1] | Create self-signed certificates. But if you use valid certificates like from Let's Encrypt or others, you don't need to create this one. |
[root@www ~]# cd /etc/pki/tls/certs [root@www certs]# openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:3072 -keyout proftpd.pem -out proftpd.pem -days 3650 You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [XX]:JP # country code State or Province Name (full name) []:Hiroshima # State Locality Name (eg, city) [Default City]:Hiroshima # city Organization Name (eg, company) [Default Company Ltd]:GTS # company Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Server World # department Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:www.srv.world # server's FQDN Email Address []:root@srv.world # admin's email[root@www certs]# chmod 600 proftpd.pem |
[2] | Configure ProFTPD. Configure basic settings before it, refer to here. |
[root@www ~]#
vi /etc/sysconfig/proftpd # add PROFTPD_OPTIONS=" -DTLS "
[root@www ~]#
vi /etc/proftpd/mod_tls.conf # change to your own certificate <IfModule mod_tls.c> TLSEngine on TLSRequired off #TLSCertificateChainFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/proftpd-chain.pem TLSRSACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/proftpd.pem TLSRSACertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/proftpd.pem TLSCipherSuite PROFILE=SYSTEM # Relax the requirement that the SSL session be re-used for data transfers TLSOptions NoSessionReuseRequired TLSLog /var/log/proftpd/tls.log <IfModule mod_tls_shmcache.c> TLSSessionCache shm:/file=/run/proftpd/sesscache </IfModule> </IfModule>[root@www ~]# systemctl restart proftpd |
[3] | If Firewalld is running, allow FTP related ports. |
[root@www ~]#
vi /etc/proftpd.conf # add to last line : fix PASV ports PassivePorts 21000 21100
[root@www ~]#
[root@www ~]# systemctl restart proftpd
firewall-cmd --add-service=ftp success [root@www ~]# firewall-cmd --add-port=21000-21100/tcp success [root@www ~]# firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent success |
