**uFTP - FTP server installation**

**Option 1 install from sources (recommended)**

Some software are required for this procedure: git, gcc and make, check your Linux distribution documentation for more information about how to get the required software.

Eg:
Under **Ubuntu/Debian** you can install all required software with this command:
<code>
# sudo apt-get install git gcc make
</code>

Clone the repository:
<code>
# git clone https://github.com/kingk85/uFTP.git
</code>

**Compile uFTP server**

<code>
# cd uFTP
</code>

**Note:** To enable the large file support, the Makefile file must be edited, find in the file the text that starts with DEFINITIONS= and modify the file as the example below.
<code>
DEFINITIONS=
#TO ENABLE THE LARGE FILE SUPPORT UNCOMMENT THE NEXT LINE
#DEFINITIONS=-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
</code>

Remove the comment at the line:
#DEFINITIONS=-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

The final result would be:
<code>
DEFINITIONS=
#TO ENABLE THE LARGE FILE SUPPORT UNCOMMENT THE NEXT LINE
DEFINITIONS=-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
</code>

**Note:** To enable TLS/SSL find the following lines in the Makefile file.
<code>
ENABLE_OPENSSL_SUPPORT=
#TO ENABLE OPENSSL SUPPORT UNCOMMENT NEXT 2 LINES
#ENABLE_OPENSSL_SUPPORT=-D OPENSSL_ENABLED
#LIBS=-lpthread -lssl -lcrypto
</code>

Remove the comments at the lines:
<code>
#ENABLE_OPENSSL_SUPPORT=-D OPENSSL_ENABLED
#LIBS=-lpthread -lssl -lcrypto
</code>

The final result would be:
<code>
ENABLE_OPENSSL_SUPPORT=
#TO ENABLE OPENSSL SUPPORT UNCOMMENT NEXT 2 LINES
ENABLE_OPENSSL_SUPPORT=-D OPENSSL_ENABLED
LIBS=-lpthread -lssl -lcrypto
</code>

**Note:** To enable the PAM Authentication module for the standard /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow authentication find the following lines in the makefile.
<code>
ENABLE_PAM_SUPPORT=
PAM_AUTH_LIB=
#TO ENABLE PAM AUTH UNCOMMENT NEXT TWO LINES
#ENABLE_PAM_SUPPORT= -D PAM_SUPPORT_ENABLED
#PAM_AUTH_LIB= -lpam
</code>

Remove the comments at the lines:
<code>
#ENABLE_OPENSSL_SUPPORT=-D OPENSSL_ENABLED
#LIBS=-lpthread -lssl -lcrypto
</code>

The final result would be:
<code>
ENABLE_PAM_SUPPORT=
PAM_AUTH_LIB=
#TO ENABLE PAM AUTH UNCOMMENT NEXT TWO LINES
ENABLE_PAM_SUPPORT= -D PAM_SUPPORT_ENABLED
PAM_AUTH_LIB= -lpam
</code>

The openSSL libraries are required to compile, under Ubuntu use the following command:
<code>
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
</code>

Generate a new certificate (only if TLS/SSH is enabled):
<code>
mkdir /etc/uFTP

cd /etc/uFTP

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365

openssl rsa -in key.pem -out newkey.pem

mv newkey.pem key.pem

chown root:root /etc/uFTP/key.pem

chmod -rwx /etc/uFTP/key.pem

</code>

Continue with the build.

<code>
# make
</code>

Copy the files to the linux path, root permission are required under ubuntu use the sudo command.
<code>
# cp build/uFTP /sbin/uFTP
# cp uftpd.cfg /etc/uftpd.cfg
</code>

Set permissions and root restriction of the configuration file.
<code>
chown root:root /sbin/uFTP
chown root:root /etc/uftpd.cfg
chmod -rwx /etc/uftpd.cfg
</code>

Run uFTP, note: root permissions are required to execute the uFTP server.
<code>
# uFTP
</code>


**Option 2 install from binary**

Download the latest binary file for your OS:

<code>
# sudo cd /sbin
# sudo wget http://www.uftpserver.com/downloads/binaries/latest/x64/uFTP
</code>

Download the latest configuration sample:

<code>
# sudo cd /etc
# sudo wget http://www.uftpserver.com/downloads/configuration_sample/uftpd.cfg
</code>

Set permissions and root restriction of the configuration file.
<code>
chown root:root /sbin/uFTP
chown root:root /etc/uftpd.cfg
chmod -rwx /etc/uftpd.cfg
</code>

Run uFTP, note: root permissions are required to execute the uFTP server.
<code>
# uFTP
</code>
