Deinstall / Clean#

/etc/init.d/proftpd stop
apt-get remove proftpd-basic  (removes all packages listed above)
apt install proftpd-basic

Configuration#

Main one: 
/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
This has 
Include /etc/proftpd/conf.d/
We create a custom one in that subfolder 
vi /etc/proftpd/conf.d/custom.conf
# Ftp user doesn't need a valid shell
<Global>
    RequireValidShell off
</Global>
# If desired turn off IPv6
UseIPv6 off
# Default directory is ftpusers home
DefaultRoot ~ ftpuser
# Limit login to the ftpuser group
<Limit LOGIN>
    DenyGroup !ftpuser
</Limit>

Restart#

systemctl restart proftpd.service

Activate TLS#

$ vi /etc/proftpd/conf.d/tls.conf
<IfModule mod_tls.c>
TLSEngine                  on
TLSLog                     /var/log/proftpd/tls.log
TLSProtocol                TLSv1.2
#TLSOptions                 NoSessionReuseRequired NoCertRequest
#TLSRSACertificateFile      /etc/proftpd/ssl/proftpd.cert.pem
TLSRSACertificateFile      /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.inetone.de/cert.pem
#TLSRSACertificateKeyFile   /etc/proftpd/ssl/proftpd.key.pem
TLSRSACertificateKeyFile   /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.inetone.de/privkey.pem
TLSVerifyClient            off
TLSRequired                on
</IfModule>

Add a virtual user (in the specified path !) 

> cd /etc/proftpd
> ftpasswd --passwd --name proftpd --uid 1001 --home /home/proftpd --shell /bin/false 
> ftpasswd --passwd --name ftp --uid 1001 --home /home/ftp --shell /bin/false
The following output is not important: 
ftpasswd: --passwd: missing --gid argument: default gid set to uid
ftpasswd: creating passwd entry for user proftpd

ftpasswd: /bin/false is not among the valid system shells.  Use of
ftpasswd: "RequireValidShell off" may be required, and the PAM
ftpasswd: module configuration may need to be adjusted.
This will create the file /etc/proftpd/ftpd.passwd in the current path !

Active/Passive#

Generally FTP clients use passive connections. To enable passive connection you need to enable port 49152-65534 in the firewall (iptables) and in the conf. Alternatively use active connections.

Add to /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf 

DefaultRoot ~
AuthOrder                      mod_auth_file.c  mod_auth_unix.c
AuthUserFile /etc/proftpd/ftpd.passwd
AuthPAM off
RequireValidShell off

Restart 

sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd restart

/var/run/proftpd/proftpd.delay

Logging#

Add in proftpd.conf: 
## Logging ##
LogFormat       default "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b"
LogFormat       auth "%v [%P] %h %t \"%r\" %s"
LogFormat       write "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b"

TransferLog     /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.xferlog
ExtendedLog     /var/log/proftpd/ftp_auth.log AUTH auth
ExtendedLog     /var/log/proftpd/ftp_access.log WRITE,READ write
# ExtendedLog   /var/log/proftpd/ftp_paranoid.log ALL default

Increase debug level by starting with -d: 

proftpd -d 5
-d level
Set debugging level (0-10, 10 = most debugging)

Use SFTP#

In /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf you generally Include /etc/proftpd/conf.d/
Disable tls 
vi /etc/proftpd/conf.d/tls.conf
TLSEngine                  off
Create sftp config 
vi /etc/proftpd/conf.d/sftp.conf
<IfModule mod_sftp.c>
        SFTPEngine on
        Port 2222
        SFTPLog /var/log/proftpd/sftp.log

        # Configure both the RSA and DSA host keys, using the same host key
        # files that OpenSSH uses.
        SFTPHostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
        SFTPHostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key

        #SFTPAuthMethods publickey
        SFTPAuthMethods password

        #SFTPAuthorizedUserKeys file:/etc/proftpd/authorized_keys/%u
        #AuthOrder mod_auth_file.c

        # Enable compression
        SFTPCompression delayed
