Add plain FTP server in Debian

Install ProFTPd

$> sudo apt-get install proftpd
$> sudo adduser <username>

That's it! Now all users will have FTP access to their home directory.

This represents a security risk. It is better to use SSH. But in some case you need a plain FTP.

For example to upload on movement detection with Amcrest security IP camera which only supports plain FTP servers.

Trading security for security...
