VSFTP Redhat 8 File Transfer Security
 

I am a new user of Linux and have just set up my first RedHat box dedicated to FTP file transfers.

I am wondering about the security of the VSFTP server during login and file transfer - what's encrypted specifically.

I see there is plenty of documentation about server setup (thank you) but I don't see anything about how the server protects data that is being passed.

Can someone please give a breif description of the security VSFTP provides client machines that are using passing data through it?

Thanks very much.

Closing the thread. It fits better the Security forum.

Please don't double post.
