User Management on vsftpd
I'm trying to ftp into my remote Linux server. I have already installed vsftpd. However when I SSH into my remote server, I don't use a user name/password combination. I use a certificate instead. In this case, how I can authenticate my FTP user? Thanks.

Use sftp client, it works over ssh. You don't need vsftp server for that.

First off, some clarification: vsftpd is just a program/daemon that runs FTP. FTP on vsftp can be configured to use SSL/TLS/SFTP. I'm not sure why that was overlooked.
@thomaszhwang: is FTP a requirement, or do you just need to be able to transfer files? If file transfer is the only requirement, I would definitely go with an SSH server, which implements sftp (FTP over SSH) as well; it is the easiest to setup and uses local accounts. If you want password-less access using sftp (or scp), copy the local public key (generated via "ssh-keygen") to the remote server:

What I want to do is to use Dreamweaver synchronize my local files to my remote server. Dreamweaver has an SFTP option, but it requires a user name/password combination to access the server. For now, I'm using a certificate instead of a user name/password combination to SSH into the server. In this case, does it possible for me to use Dreamweaver to synchronize the files? Thanks everyone!
