Installing FTP server for recordings

My preferred ftp server is vsftpd, it is easy to configure and quite stable

 yum -y install vsftpd
 chkconfig --level 2345 vsftpd on

You may prefer to use a SSL connection to access the FTP so you need to perform the following:

 mkdir /etc/ssl/private
 openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout /etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem -out /etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem

Edit the /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf and change:

 anonymous_enable=NO
 chroot_local_user=YES

add at the bottom:

 ssl_enable=YES
 allow_anon_ssl=NO
 force_local_data_ssl=YES
 force_local_logins_ssl=YES

 ssl_tlsv1=YES
 ssl_sslv2=NO
 ssl_sslv3=NO

 rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem
 rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem
 
 require_ssl_reuse=no

Create an user, like recording and set a password To be able to use chroot, the /home/recording must be not writable, so you need to set

 chmod 500 /home/recording

And create a directory inside

 mkdir /home/recording/recordings
 chown recording:recording /home/recording/recordings
