vsftpd support SSL / TLS encryption support?

  • SNBForums Code of Conduct

    SNBForums is a community for everyone, no matter what their level of experience.

    Please be tolerant and patient of others, especially newcomers. We are all here to share and learn!

    The rules are simple: Be patient, be nice, be helpful or be gone!

This is a smarter way to do it, no need to edit vsftpd.conf file.

Put it here "/jffs/scripts/vsftpd.postconf" and "chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/vsftpd.postconf"

#!/bin/sh
CONFIG=$1

source /usr/sbin/helper.sh

pc_replace "local_umask=000" "local_umask=022" "$CONFIG"
pc_replace "connect_from_port_20=YES" "connect_from_port_20=NO" "$CONFIG"
pc_replace "ssl_enable=NO" "ssl_enable=YES" "$CONFIG"
pc_replace "ftpd_banner=Welcome to ASUS RT-AC68U FTP service." "ftpd_banner=Welcome to Router man's unbelievable FTP service." "$CONFIG"
pc_append "max_per_ip=5" "$CONFIG"
pc_append "use_sendfile=NO" "$CONFIG"
pc_append "ssl_ciphers=HIGH" "$CONFIG"
pc_append "pasv_min_port=10500" "$CONFIG"
pc_append "pasv_max_port=10520" "$CONFIG"
pc_append "require_ssl_reuse=NO" "$CONFIG"
pc_append "force_local_data_ssl=YES" "$CONFIG"
pc_append "force_local_logins_ssl=YES" "$CONFIG"
pc_append "rsa_cert_file=/jffs/configs/vsftpd.pem" "$CONFIG"

If ftp server dont start remove, pc_append "require_ssl_reuse=NO" "$CONFIG" that only working in 3.0.2
 
I stumbled upon this thread because i was searching for a graphical tool to do the SCP transfers to and from the router with my mac.
I tried and tested every client i could find.(Transmit/CyberDuck/ForkLift/Fugu/Yummy/Flow/InterArchy)
Even though everbody thinks SCP is the seem as SFTP and thus say client X supports SCP, none of them except InterArchy supports SCP.
And InterArchy is a bit pricey...
Fugu supports SCP but not in a GUI navigational way.

So .... does anybody know of a OSX GUI SCP tool ?
Or even better, is it possible to have FTP running on RMerlins FW?

@ octopus: Used your manual to add TLS support to the vsftpd configuration. The vsftpd service starts without problems, but after accepting my certificate FileZilla shows this:
Code:

Status:    Connection established, waiting for welcome message...

Do you have an idea, what is going wrong? I also did the iptables command.
 
Use FlashFXP client instead. :)

Telling other people, that they only can use FlashFXP to access my server? Not a good idea :)
 
That's not the idea, but testing if with other client same issue happens or not...

You can choose other client to test it, did it work?

Not today, currently I disabled ssl for vsftpd, so everyone can access it again.
 
I never said for you to tell other people they could only use FlashFXP client, it's not the first time Filezzila has issue with TLS certificate handling so definitely you should try it before blaming the Server / Config.

Remember there's always 2 parts, the client and the server, the issue can be on one side or the other, the only way for you to know is trying other client.
