Every time I try to setup an FTP server with user account, I get into troubles. Is there some FTP server with GUI that I can set it up easily? Is there any good and working tutorial for setting up an FTP server?

For GUI options: If you don't need vsftpd, you can use gadmin-proftpd from the repositories:

enter image description here

gadmin-proftpd is a fast and easy to use GTK+ administration tool for the Proftpd standalone server.

If you need something more sophisticated :

Setting up a ftp server should not be a complicated experience though.

I would suggest you try to follow the server guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/ftp-server.html and if you get stuck post specific questions.

and administrate it via web interface like : webmin.

  • I have negative experience with webmin. I asked my cusomers to note down some commands, and use Bash! I suggest it to you too!

  • I am not a fan of webmin but it serves a purpose. I suggest that he follows the server guide as opposed to using GUI tools.
