1. Install NTP server

# apt -y install chrony
# vi /etc/chrony/chrony.conf
# Line 8.：Comment the default settings and add the NTP server for your time zone.
#pool 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
pool ntp.nict.jp iburst
# Add to the last line (Range for which time synchronization is allowed)
allow 192.168.11.0/24

# apt -y install chrony

# vi /etc/chrony/chrony.conf

# Line 8.：Comment the default settings and add the NTP server for your time zone.

#pool 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst

pool ntp.nict.jp iburst

# Add to the last line (Range for which time synchronization is allowed)

allow 192.168.11.0/24

Setting Reflection

# systemctl restart chrony

1	# systemctl restart chrony

2. Install FTP Server

2.1 Install Vsftpd

# apt install vsftpd

1	# apt install vsftpd

FTP Port21 allowed

# ufw allow ftp
# ufw reload

1 2	# ufw allow ftp # ufw reload

2.2 Edit Vsftpd configuration file

# vi /etc/vsftpd.conf
# Line 14. : change
listen=YES
# Line 22 : change
listen_ipv6=NO
# Line 31 : Uncomment
# Allow use of FTP commands to make changes to files
write_enable=YES
# Line 35 : Uncomment
# Set permission values to be applied to new files
# Each digit indicates owner, group, other, and bit indicates rwx
local_umask=022
# Line 99-100 : Uncomment
# Allow uploads by ASCII
ascii_upload_enable=YES
# Allow downloading by ASCII
ascii_download_enable=YES
# Line 122 : Uncomment
# Change the user's login directory to the user's root directory
chroot_local_user=YES
# Line 123 : Uncomment
# Users will not be able to access outside the login directory
chroot_list_enable=YES
# Line 125 : Uncomment
# Users listed in vsftpd.chroot_list are exempt from the above restrictions
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
# Line 131：Uncomment( Enable batch transfer by directory )
ls_recurse_enable=YES

# vi /etc/vsftpd.conf

# Line 14. : change

listen=YES

# Line 22 : change

listen_ipv6=NO

# Line 31 : Uncomment

# Allow use of FTP commands to make changes to files

write_enable=YES

# Line 35 : Uncomment

# Set permission values to be applied to new files

# Each digit indicates owner, group, other, and bit indicates rwx

local_umask=022

# Line 99-100 : Uncomment

# Allow uploads by ASCII

ascii_upload_enable=YES

# Allow downloading by ASCII

ascii_download_enable=YES

# Line 122 : Uncomment

# Change the user's login directory to the user's root directory

chroot_local_user=YES

# Line 123 : Uncomment

# Users will not be able to access outside the login directory

chroot_list_enable=YES

# Line 125 : Uncomment

# Users listed in vsftpd.chroot_list are exempt from the above restrictions

chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

# Line 131：Uncomment( Enable batch transfer by directory )

ls_recurse_enable=YES

Next, create a new vsftpd.chroot_list under etc.
Add your Debian username (e.g. huong) to this file.

# vi /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
huong

1 2	# vi /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list huong

Enable vsftpd and restart

# systemctl restart vsftpd

1	# systemctl restart vsftpd

2.3 Check FTP connection

Check with FTP client
In this case, we will use FileZilla.
Start FileZilla and change FileZilla settings first, menu "Edit" "Settings"

Click on "New site" and then
Protocol　: FTP-File Transfer Protocol
Host　: Server IP Address
Port　: (can be blank)
Encryption　: Use expllict FTP ocver TLS if available
Logon Type　: Ask for password
User 　: Login User Name

Password : Password for logged-in user

Click "OK" when the following screen appears

If you see the Windows directory on the left and the Debian directory on the right, the connection was successful.

3. Vsftpd SSL/TLS

Configure Vsftpd to use SSL/TLS

3.1 Create self-signed certificates

This work is not required if you are using a trusted, legitimate certificate such as Let's Encrypt.

# cd /etc/ssl/private
# openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout vsftpd.pem -out vsftpd.pem -days 3650
Generating a RSA private key
........................+++++
..................+++++
writing new private key to '/etc/pki/tls/certs/vsftpd.pem'
-----
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [XX]:JP # country code
State or Province Name (full name) []:Osaka # Region (Prefecture）
Locality Name (eg, city) [Default City]:Sakai # City
Organization Name (eg, company) [Default Company Ltd]:private # organization name
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Admin # Name of organization's department
Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) [] Lepard # Server Host Name
Email Address []: # Administrator's email address

# cd /etc/ssl/private

# openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout vsftpd.pem -out vsftpd.pem -days 3650
