Enabling FTPs or FPTes

I dont know which one is better. FTPs or FTPes. But as I know, it need TLS for the FTP.
I tried to follow the instruction at http://wiki.centos-webpanel.com/how-to-install-tls-for-ftp
It said it can use sh /scripts/install_pure-ftpd_tls if using Centos 7 and CWP version 0.9.8.757+. I used Centos 7 and latest CWP Pro version.
I run that sh command, it said it was installed successfully. But then what need to do? how can I know the FTPs and FTPes can be used?

I read the instruction above, it said to check:
/etc/pki/tls/private/hostname.key
/etc/pki/tls/certs/hostname.crt

I have /etc/pki/tls/certs/hostname.key at my vps, but I didnt see /etc/pki/tls/certs/hostname.crt.

So, how exactly enabling FTPs and FTPes?

Thanks.

You need to create SSL certificate for TLS - something like

Code: [Select]

/etc/certs/pure-ftpd.pem or whatever you have defined as the existence of your cert in

Code: [Select]

/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.conf
something like

Code: [Select]

CertFile   /etc/certs/pure-ftpd.pem

In the /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf, the Cert file is CertFile /etc/pki/tls/private/hostname.pem
And that file is exist.
But what I should do next? I want to force my customer just login to FTPs or FTPes only, and disable plain FTP.

Which part of my pure-ftpd.conf that I have to modify?
Thanks.

Set this in

Dear Joseph,

CWP uses pure-ftpd with the file location

Code: [Select]

/etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf
Is it same with vsftpd? and where is the config file of vsftp location?
Thanks.

No for pureftpd just

Code: [Select]

vi /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf and add the changes below:

Code: [Select]

# This option accepts three values:
# 0: disable SSL/TLS encryption layer (default).
# 1: accept both cleartext and encrypted sessions.
# 2: refuse connections that don't use the TLS security mechanism,
#    including anonymous sessions.
# Do _not_ uncomment this blindly. Double check that:
# 1) The server has been compiled with TLS support (--with-tls),
# 2) A valid certificate is in place,
# 3) Only compatible clients will log in.
TLS                          2
# Cipher suite for TLS sessions.
# The default suite is secure and setting this property is usually
# only required to *lower* the security to cope with legacy clients.
# Prefix with -C: in order to require valid client certificates.
# If -C: is used, make sure that clients' public keys are present on
# the server.
# TLSCipherSuite               HIGH
CertFile                     /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem
CertFileAndKey               "/etc/pure-ftpd.pem" "/etc/pure-ftpd.key"
# Listen only to IPv4 addresses in standalone mode (ie. disable IPv6)
# By default, both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled.
# IPV4Only                     yes
# Listen only to IPv6 addresses in standalone mode (i.e. disable IPv4)
# By default, both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled.
# IPV6Only                     yes

Dear Joseph,

Thanks for your help.
I have checked my pure-ftpd.conf.
The line

Code: [Select]

CertFile                     /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem
CertFileAndKey               "/etc/pure-ftpd.pem" "/etc/pure-ftpd.key"is not same with mine.
My conf file contains:

Code: [Select]

TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+TLSv1:!SSLv2:!SSLv3
CertFile /etc/pki/tls/private/hostname.pem
There is no line:

Code: [Select]

CertFileAndKey               "/etc/pure-ftpd.pem" "/etc/pure-ftpd.key"
And these files do not exist in my vps:

/etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem
/etc/pure-ftpd.pem
/etc/pure-ftpd.key

What should I do? And should TLSCipherSuite need to be changed to TLS 1.2?

Thanks.
