FTP Server Implementation & Automation Project

Overview

This repository contains a collection of guides and technical specifications for deploying and configuring FTP (File Transfer Protocol) servers. The project covers different scenarios, from basic anonymous servers to secure (FTPS) implementations, and includes a full automation workflow using Vagrant and Ansible.

Contents

1. Anonymous FTP Configuration: Basic setup for public file mirrors (With Docker Hub).
2. Secure FTP (FTPS): Implementation of encrypted connections and user access control (With Docker Hub).
3. Vagrant & Ansible Automation: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach to deploy these services automatically (With Ansible).

Core Technologies

• Vagrant: Virtual environment orchestration.
• Ansible: Configuration management and automation.
• vsftpd: The Very Secure FTP Daemon used as the server software.
• BIND9: Used for DNS resolution within the infrastructure.

General Objectives

• To practice manual and automated server configuration.
• To understand FTP security protocols (SSL/TLS).
• To implement collaborative project management using GitHub.
