FTP Server on Centos
Each of your websites can be remotely accessed via sftp secure file transfer protocol which comes already installed via the server install disk.
Go into your Zoneedit site and set up your sftp alias name - click alias (CNAME) - add - as below
Go into the server system control box - set vsftpd to start (tick it) - save the setting - open control box - as below
Set router to forward 22 to your server- this was covered in webserver setup - here it is again for port 22 -
Now we have to link the machine to your incoming ftp requests. This is done by the router forwarding those requests to your webserver computer on the local address that you noted 192.etc. These requests are on port 22 There are many different types of routers and all forward the web ports in slightly different ways on their interface. To cover this problem http://portforward.com/ has a large list of routers and details how to, access your router and set port forward to your ftp server on port 22.
After completing this we have one more little problem; computers on your local area network are on Dynamic IP's, Dynamic IP's are the best system for a local network. In order to keep it that way we need to bind your server computer IP to the address it has. To bind it - most routers have a "bind to mac address" page to set this up. If your router hasn't got this option then fixed local network IP's are the only option.
