How to Install Certificates on vsftpd Server

1. Combine your certificate and CA certificate(s) into one file (e.g. your.server.pem).
2. Move the file created, as a result of the previous step, to the location where you store certificates (Examples: /usr/share/ssl/certs/, /etc/ssl/certs/)
3. Move your private key, that you created when you generated your CSR, to the location where you store private keys. (e.g. /etc/ssl/certs/private/)
4. Update 'vsftpd.conf' in your favorite text-editor with:
   • rsa_cert_file = /path/to/your.server.pem
   • rsa_private_key_file = /path/to/your.key
5. Restart vsftpd. Examples:
   • /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
   OR
6. /sbin/service/vsftpd restart
