SSH enabled: as for most of my tutorials, I recommended using SSH to follow the tutorial on your computer while you run the commands (remotely) on the Raspberry Pi.
Reboot the Raspberry Pi after the installation if there are a lot of updates available.
Raspberry pi ftp server how to#
You can read my guide on how to install Raspberry Pi OS here if you need some guidance. A Lite version is enough, you don’t need a desktop environment for an FTP server. Some of the steps are easier with it, and it just works as well as any other option. Operating system: The instructions in this tutorial should work on most distributions, but I recommend using Raspberry Pi OS if you start from scratch.
Raspberry pi ftp server software#
Here are my recommendations in terms of software before installing an FTP server: I also give a few tips to find one in stock (which currently isn’t that easy). Make sure to check this article to pay the right price when buying a Raspberry Pi. Warning: current prices are all over the place for a new Raspberry Pi. I have a guide here on how to set up a static IP if needed. It might be a good idea to invest in an external hard drive right from the beginning ( here is my top pick currently).Ī wired network connection is also recommended for more stability (it will be a terrible experience if the connection is slow or disconnected all the time). Storage is more important in my opinion, so try to guess how much disk space your server will require, especially if you have many users or want to keep large files. The first third of the book teaches you the basics, but the following chapters include projects you can try on your own. It’s a 30-day challenge where you learn one new thing every day until you become a Raspberry Pi expert. If you’re looking to quickly progress on Raspberry Pi, you can check out my e-book here. But don’t worry, I will also explain the second option, which is to use a traditional FTP server for this project. I highly recommend following this advice, as I guess most of you are single users on a home network, because it’s just easier to use SSH. SSH can be enabled in one simple step, and you can then use any FTP client to access the Raspberry Pi files. The easiest way to set up a safe FTP server on a Raspberry Pi is not to use any FTP server software, but use SSH instead and the SFTP protocol. The purpose of this article is to explain how to set up an FTP server safely. But it’s a bit like HTTP on the web, it’s not a safe protocol.
FTP stands for “File Transfer Protocol” and is the first option many of us think about when it comes to transferring files to a Raspberry Pi or any Linux server.
