Encryption Support

Generate Certs

  • Country: US
  • State: PA
  • Locality: Charleroi
  • Org Name: Realm of Espionage
  • Org Unit: NAS
  • YOUR Name: x
  • Email: x
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 730 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout '/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem' -out '/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem' && sudo chmod '600' '/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem'

Enable Encryption

  • :!: ssl_ciphers can be set to HIGH or any supported OpenSSL cipher, but the higher the cipher, the higher the performance hit 2)
sudo -e '/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf' && sudo systemctl restart 'vsftpd'
ssl_enable=YES
allow_anon_ssl=NO
force_local_data_ssl=YES
force_local_logins_ssl=YES
require_ssl_reuse=YES

ssl_ciphers=AES128-SHA
ssl_tlsv1=YES
ssl_sslv2=NO
ssl_sslv3=NO

rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem
rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem

UUID

  • Use either PARTUUID (GPT) or UUID
sudo blkid

fstab

sudo mkdir -p '/var/ftp/nas1' && sudo -e '/etc/fstab'
sudo mkdir -p '/var/ftp/nas1' '/var/ftp/nas2' && sudo -e '/etc/fstab'

specifically on Oak with a Phenom II X4, HIGH caps around 60-70MB/s, whereas AES128-SHA is 70-80MB/s, and no encryption is 100-110MB/s
