#3 Re: Setting up an FTP server on Debian Posted by DaveV (24.8.xx.xx) on Thu 25 Aug 2005 at 20:05 I always recommend sftp (ssh subsystem) for all NON-anonymous ftp access because SSH has far fewer security issues than the average ftp server, and its simple configuration. If you have OpenSSH server installed then just add the following line to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart the daemon (/etc/init.d/ssh restart): Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server And for the linux users, install the OpenSSH client and have them use sftp to connect instead of ftp. For windows users, install one of the following: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty.html http://lexa.dyndns.org/sshwindows/
