Ensure FTP Server is not enabled
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) provides networked computers with the ability to transfer files.
Parameter:
Technical Mechanism:
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:
Remove or comment out start lines in /etc/init/vsftpd.conf:
# start on runlevel [2345] or net-device-up IFACE!=lo
