windows connect to ftp server on linux for file transfer

The host is a windows system and the centos 6 is on a virtual machine. The requirement is to transfer files from windows to Linux.

Required software: FileZilla

Check if vsftpd is installed,

#rpm –qa | grep vsftpd

If no message is displayed, it means that it is not installed. Use yum to install:

#yum install vsftpd --y

Wait for the installation to complete, you need to do some configuration, open the configuration file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf,

#vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

Remove two lines of comments:

anon_upload_enable = YES

anon_mkdir_write_enable = YES

Start the sftp service:

#service vsfptd start

2. Install FileZilla on windows, then enter IP, username, password, port number (note that 22 should be used instead of 21)
