Installation Configuration Security

I've set up a digital ocean server using forg. Our client would like ftp access to a certain directory on the server.

This guide helped me to install vsftpd http://www.krizna.com/ubuntu/setup-ftp-server-on-ubuntu-14-04-vsftpd/ After completing all the instructions I've opened port 21 via Forge's active firewall rules.

Unfortunately when I try to connect to my server via ftp an error "connection refused" is given.

How can this be solved?

Got it to work, but used sftp instead of ftp.

Here's how I did it: https://murze.be/2016/03/let-your-clients-use-sftp-on-a-forge-provisioned-server/
