Normally I use the build in ftpd in FreeBSD. But on webservers and likely, virtual accounts and restrictions are needed. Here I use Pure-FTPd. Install this: ftp/pure-ftpd Get an initial config file: cp /usr/local/etc/pure-ftpd.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/pure-ftpd.conf Add to config file: PureDB /usr/local/etc/pureftpd.pdb AltLog clf:/var/log/pureftpd.log TLS 1 #REMEMBER to fix a cert first!! Add the system user account the ftpd should use: pw useradd ftpuser -d /dev/null -s /usr/sbin/nologin Enable in /etc/rc.conf: pureftpd_enable="YES" Generate the SSL cert: openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /usr/local/etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem -out /usr/local/etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem chmod 600 /usr/local/etc/ssl/private/*.pem
