    $ sudo vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
    
  2. To allow local users to log in via ftp, add the following line to the vsftpd configuration file:
    local_enable=YES
    
  3. If you would like to allow users to upload files, add the following:
    write_enable=YES
    
  4. For security you may restrict local users to their home directories. To do that, add the following to the file:
    chroot_local_user=YES
    
  5. Save and close the file.
  6. Restart vsftpd service using the following command:
