The Perfect Setup - CentOS 4.3 (64-bit) - Page 6

11 ProFTPd

ISPConfig has better support for proftpd than vsftpd, so let's remove vsftpd:

yum remove vsftpd

Because CentOS has no proftpd package, we must use a third-party yum repository to install it:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://centos.karan.org/kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo
rpm --import http://centos.karan.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-karan.org.txt

Now we can install proftpd:

yum install proftpd

Let's create proftpd's system startup links and start it:

chkconfig --levels 235 proftpd on
/etc/init.d/proftpd start

Then create the file /etc/pam.d/ftp with the following content (otherwise you will not be able to log in with system users using FTP):

vi /etc/pam.d/ftp

#%PAM-1.0
auth    required        pam_unix.so     nullok
account required        pam_unix.so
session required        pam_unix.so

and restart proftpd:
