How to Install ProFTP on Turnkey Linux LAMP with Webmin Module

I was installing DKAN, an open source data platform based on Drupal and needed FTP installed. Here’s how I did it:

apt-get update && apt-get install webmin webmin-proftpd
apt-get install proftpd

Log into webmin and create a user.

Creating a User:

• Go to system > users and groups
• Select a username, assign the users home directory or choose automatic to let the system set it
• Let webmin pick the user id
• Select as shell /bin/sh, click on “normal password” and choose a password
• You can leave all other settings as-is.
