Testing Proftpd anonymous access on Linux Centos 9
- Start the proftpd service using the command “proftpd”.
- This will start the proftpd service with the new configurations.
- Connect to the server using the command “ftp 127.0.0.1” or if using a remote computer, specify the IP address of the proftpd server.
- Login in using the teachmat account and password. You will see that the welcome message from the welcome.msg file will be displayed.

Testing Proftpd anonymous access on Windows 10
From the windows explorer, run the command “ftp://192.168.14.141”. Make sure to include the IP address of your FTP server. Mine is 192.168.14.141 hence the example. Press enter and login using teachmat username and password.
If you are able to see the welcome.msg the service is working well.
