Information
FTP does not protect the confidentiality of data or authentication credentials. It is recommended sftp be used if file transfer is required. Unless there is a need to run the system as a FTP server (for example, to allow anonymous downloads), it is recommended that the service be disabled to reduce the potential attack surface.
Solution
Run the following command to disable vsftpd - # chkconfig vsftpd offNotes-Additional FTP servers also exist and should be audited.
