Add ftp service to your Ubuntu Server

So you now have your Ubuntu Server up and running with the help of “Installing Ubuntu Server 9.04” and you now have Samba working with the help of “Set up your new Ubuntu Server as a Samba Server“. Now it's time to add ftp to the mix. Of course many people are of the mind set that FTP servers are slowly becoming a thing of the past. I would disagree because of the low cost of hardware, ease of set up, and ease of use. You can't beat an FTP server up on your network as a central file repository.
Now that you already have your Ubuntu Server up and running, adding FTP is actually quite easy. There are numerous FTP servers available, but the one I tend to prefer is vsftpd. Not only is it more secure than many other FTP servers, it's easy to install and configure, even for anonymous use.
In this article you will see how to get vsftpd installed and configured for both user login and anonymous use.
