You can set up users to log in using FTP on your Linux dedicated server, if the server is running the Plesk control panel.

To allow users to log in using FTP (File Transfer Protocol):

  1. Create a new user. You can use Plesk or type adduser at the command line.
  2. Open the /etc/proftpd.conf file in a text editor.
  3. Replace this entry at the bottom of the file:
    AllowGroup   ftpusers
    DenyAll
    with:
    AllowAll
  4. Save your file.
  5. Type /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart at the command line.
