FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files between computers on the internet or on a local network. Serv-U is a powerful and secure FTP server that allows you to transfer files easily and securely. In this tutorial, we will show you how to set up a Serv-U FTP server on Ubuntu 20.04.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, you will need the following:- A server running Ubuntu 20.04.
- Root access to the server.
- A static IP address for the server.
Step 1 - Installing Serv-U
The first step in setting up a Serv-U FTP server is to install the Serv-U software on your Ubuntu server. To do this, follow these steps:- Open a terminal window on your Ubuntu server.
- Update the package index by running the following command:
sudo apt update
- Install Serv-U by running the following command:
sudo apt install serv-u
- Once the installation is complete, start the Serv-U service by running the following command:

Step 2 - Configuring Serv-U
Now that you have installed Serv-U, you need to configure it to work with your server. Here are the steps to configure Serv-U:- Open a web browser and go to the following URL:
https://localhost:8080
