How to Install and Configure FTP on Linux and Use Xftp Client
This tutorial walks through installing an FTP server on Linux, creating FTP users, opening required ports, installing the Xftp client on Windows, connecting with root and regular accounts, and troubleshooting common connection problems, all illustrated with step‑by‑step screenshots.
FTP
1. Install FTP server
Install the FTP service on the Linux server. The process is shown with screenshots.
2. Create FTP user
Create a new FTP account on the server. Screenshots illustrate the configuration steps.
3. Open required ports
Enable the necessary firewall ports for FTP (typically 21 for control and a range for data). Screenshots show the port configuration.
Xftp Software
1. Install Xftp client
For Windows, install the Xftp FTP client (recommended among many FTP tools). Screenshots display the installation UI.
Change the default installation path to the D: drive (as shown).
Additional configuration screenshots follow.
2. Connect with root account

3. Connect with other accounts
Use port 21 for non‑root accounts. Screenshots show the configuration.
4. Troubleshooting connection issues
If the connection fails, edit the Pure‑Ftpd configuration in the Baota panel: remove the comment before ForcePassiveIP and set it to the public IP address, then restart the service.
After restarting, try both passive and active modes in Xftp options.
