Setting up Guest FTP

Setting up a Guest FTP Service

First, you have to elevate to root user with sudo su - and then inputting your password.

When you’re root, you need to download the GuestFTP script: wget https://hnielsen.eu/files/guestftp.sh

Now you need to make the script executable with chmod +x guestftp.sh.

Once the file is executable, you can run it. The syntax for running is as follows. ./guestftp.sh username password /path/to/folder/

So for example to give username ”test”, with the password ”test” access to folder /home/test/test/, you would run the command as follows: ./guestftp.sh test test /home/test/test/

After the script has ran fully, you can check that the service is up and running with service guest-ftp status and it should say that the service is active.

The port to use to be able to connect is 2121.
