So we will need the next command :
sudo vim /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf After that we need changes some settings below and save & exit from the vsftpd.conf file:
listen=YES anonymous_enable=YES local_enable=YES write_enable=YES chroot_local_user=YES And then restart the FTP service for the changes to take effect: sudo service vsftpd restart vsftpd stop/waiting vsftpd start/running, process 14554
