Configuring ProFTPD for FTPS (FTP Secure), which involves adding SSL/TLS encryption to the standard FTP protocol, enhances security by encrypting the data transferred between the client and server.
This setup protects the data integrity and confidentiality of user credentials and transferred files.
Here's a basic guide on how to enable FTPS in ProFTPD
- First, create or manage the SSL certificate using the Certificates Center
- On the left menu, go to
FTP service > Status - Click on the
FTPslink
- Turn ON the option “
Use The SSL Encryption” and choose the SSL certificate in the drop-down list
