Hi@akhtar,

You need to install vsftpd software in your Linux system. This software will help you to configure the FTP server in your system. You can use the below-given command to install this software.

$ yum install vsftpd -y
$ systemctl start vsftpd

By default, the home directory of the FTP server is /var/ftp/. You have to copy your file to this folder, then only you can able to share your files. You can use the below URL to browse your FTP server.

$ ftp://localhost

I hope this will help you.
