You'll need vsftpd version >= 2.0 for SSL support. Here's the procedure for RHEL 4 (may need minor edits for SLES 9, not sure):
1. Add "ssl_enable=YES" (no quotes) to /etc/vsftpd/conf/vsftpd.conf 2. By default, it looks in /usr/share/ssl/certs for the file vsftpd.pem. Since this file isn't there, cd to that directory and run "make vsftpd.pem". This will ask you a few questions and create the (RSA) certificate for you. 3. Start up vsftpd. For my testing, I just ran /usr/sbin/vsftpd from the command line to see any error messages, then ran it through the rc* initscripts. There are a couple of other options you can add to vsftpd.conf (SSL version, anonymous over SSL, etc) which are all documented in vsftpd.conf(5). -Brad On Tue, 2007-05-15 at 15:43 -0400, Terry Spaulding wrote: > Jay, is your need to have a secured FTP with SSL for encryption or specific > to FTPS with SSL ? > If SSL is the issue you can setup your ssh logon to be SSL and the sftp > will then be encrypted. > > As Mark pointed out I believe vsftpd is supposed to support FTPS. > Not sure if vsftpd has provided the full data encryption yet. > You may want to check out WS_FTP Pro I think it supports FTPS with SSL but > is a fee based solution.
