The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) provides networked computers with the ability to transfer files.
Rationale:
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 package be deleted to reduce the potential attack surface.
Fix:
Run the following command to disable vsftpd # systemctl --now disable vsftpd.
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
Run the following command to disable vsftpd # systemctl --now disable vsftpd
