FTP Configuration on Virtual Machine (VMware)

Administrasi Sistem Jaringan ❘ DNS and FTP Configuration

A. Learning Objective

Know how to doing FTP Configuration
Know how the local repository work
Learn how the client's Mac address is registered in order to get a static ip address.

B. Learning Material

FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is a standardized network protocol used to transfer files from one computer to another over a network, particularly the Internet. This protocol allows users to upload and download files from a server to their computer.

In short, an FTP Server has two simple tasks: "get" and "put". You can either retrieve the file from the FTP server or place the file on the FTP server. When you upload a file, it will be forwarded from your personal device (FTP Client) to the server. Conversely, when you download a file, it will be forwarded from the server to your personal device (FTP Client). In order for the data transfer process to run, make sure the FTP Client is connected to the FTP Server.

C. Learning Preparation

It would be beneficial to have some preparation before learning about DHCP server configuration. Some tools and materials could be useful for that, such as:

1. PC/LAPTOP

2. Internet

3. Iso file Linux Debian 11 (Server)

4. Iso file Windows 10 (Desktop)

5. PuTTY

6. VMware (for virtual machine)

D. Topology

E. Configuration

1. . Remote server using PuTTY or other remote ssh applications, then in the hostname or ip address column enter the server ip, namely 172.18.0.44 then select the Connection type, namely SSH. If you have clicked Open..

2. If there is a question like this, click accept to agree to the security alert from the PuTTY.

3. Now if so, login as user and enter the password, then type the su command to enter root mode and enter the root password. If it's like this, it means we have successfully installed Debian Server and remote using SSH.

4. Update existing packages on debian, using the apt update command.

5. Use the cd /etc/bind command to move to the bind directory, so we can add an ftp subdomain.

6. After that, open the file that was previously copied from the db.local file, for example here is asoy. If you have successfully entered, edit the file by adding the ftp subdomain by also adding 172.18.0.44. Then CTRL X> Y> Enter to save changes.

7. Then restart the bind9 package to update the contents of the bind directory using the systemctl restart bind9 command. After that, try pinging ftp and make sure the result is a reply.

8. Download the proftpd package with the apt install proftpd command, then if there is a question whether to continue or not, just type y or yes. And just wait until the installation process is complete.

9. Enter the home directory to add a new directory as an ftp file location, if so, create a directory for ftp with the mkdir ftpshare command. To see if it has entered or not use the ls command to see the folder has entered or not.

10. Use the ls -al command to see the details of each file. Then change the permissions of the ftpshare folder with the chmod 777 ftpshare/ command.

11. Enter the proftpd directory with the cd /etc/proftpd command, then view the file list with the ls command. Then backup the files from proftpd.

12. Edit the proftpd.conf file then look for the word defaultroot as we will be editing that section.

13. Enter the directory that we created for the ftp file.

14. Then add a new user and do not use the same user as before, for example here we use the user gemoy. Enter the password and retype the new password. If all information is correct type y or yes.

15. Enter the proftpd directory again and type the usermod -d /home/asoy/ftshare/ gemoy command to change the user's home directory to access files in ftp.

16. In a virtual machine, open the Windows 10 client.

17. Open the control panel then check the ip details on the windows client.

18. And this is the ip details of our windows client.

19. Then, open a command prompt on the windows client and test ping to ftp.kelasoy.com and the result should be a reply.

20. Then, access ftp with cli with the command ftp ftp.kelasoy.com if it is connected, enter the user that we just added, namely gemoy. And enter the password. If the user gemoy has successfully logged in, type the ls command to see what the contents of the ftp file are. Then create the tescli folder, with the command mkdir tescli.
