SSL Configuration is quit easy, it's just vsftpd standard: https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/configure-vsftpd-ssl/

This is what I add to my vsFTP config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf:

Code: Select all

#
# SSL Options
#
ssl_enable=YES
allow_anon_ssl=NO
force_local_data_ssl=YES
force_local_logins_ssl=YES
ssl_tlsv1_1=YES
ssl_tlsv1_2=YES
ssl_tlsv1=NO
ssl_sslv2=NO
ssl_sslv3=NO
require_ssl_reuse=YES
ssl_ciphers=HIGH
rsa_cert_file=/usr/local/vesta/ssl/certificate.crt
rsa_private_key_file=/usr/local/vesta/ssl/certificate.key
Note that I used the path of the self-signed certificate, so when connecting to the server a warning message is displayed. This would be used for all domains, that's why the warning message appears because it was issued for the main domain of the server, not for all of the domains hosted on it.

Hope it would help.

Regards!

Hello.

Just installed new VPS on Debian 9.9 (stretch).
vsftpd version is 3.0.3

Now I'm trying to set up a secure connection for the vsftpd. After adding these two parameters to the configuration file

Code: Select all

ssl_tlsv1_1=YES
ssl_tlsv1_2=YES
my vsftpd server cannot start.
I get the following errors when checking the configuration:

Code: Select all

#vsftpd
500 OOPS: unrecognised variable in config file: ssl_tlsv1_1
500 OOPS: unrecognised variable in config file: ssl_tlsv1_2
Therefore, my vsftpd only starts working when I delete these parameters or comment them out.
Now my configuration is as follows:

Code: Select all

#ssl_tlsv1_1=YES
#ssl_tlsv1_2=YES
ssl_tlsv1=YES
I could not find the description of the ssl_tlsv1_1 and ssl_tlsv1_2 parameters in the man pages or official documentation (https://security.appspot.com/vsftpd/vsftpd_conf.html).
Could you please tell me where these parameters come from and what version of vsftpd are they for?

I use this on Centos 7 and have no issues.

#SSL
ssl_enable=YES
allow_anon_ssl=NO
force_local_data_ssl=YES
force_local_logins_ssl=YES
ssl_tlsv1_1=NO
ssl_tlsv1_2=YES
ssl_tlsv1=NO
ssl_sslv2=NO
ssl_sslv3=NO
require_ssl_reuse=YES
ssl_ciphers=EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM
rsa_cert_file=/usr/local/vesta/ssl/certificate.crt
rsa_private_key_file=/usr/local/vesta/ssl/certificate.key

Also use the above ssl ciphers for email, nginx etc. maybe a couple of rules need changing but passes pci compliance test

After some digging as i had this issue i found that in debian 9 using vsftpd 3.0.3-8+b1 the following settings are reductant, they are part of a RHL patch which do not work in debian version.

Code: Select all

#ssl_tlsv1_1=YES
#ssl_tlsv1_2=YES

If you remove them and set the following vsftpd will restart.

Code: Select all

ssl_ciphers=TLSv1.2
#Options: SSLv3, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.2, HIGH (see man ciphers)
ssl_ciphers=TLSv1.2
