To be able to use the common FTP programs on a CentOS server, you need to install additional programs vsftp. Vs here means "very secure" :)

Install vsfptd

Run the following command

Code:
sudo yum install vsftpd
Also we need to install the FTP client

Code:
sudo yum install ftp
Once downloaded and installed, you can use it immediately. However, it should be configured to add a little more security for VPS.

Configuring vsftpd

Open the configuration file:

Code:
sudo nano /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
Transfer from Yes to No Anonymous_enable

Code:
anonymous_enable = NO
Skip local_enable line comment, go to Yes and allow write

Code:
local_enable = YES
Skip chroot_local_user comment line and converted into Yes to user can not access other server folders

Code:
chroot_local_user = YES
Save and exit.

Restart vsftpd

Code:
sudo service vsftpd restart
To ensure system VSFTPD startup, run the following command

Code:
chkconfig vsftpd on
Connect FTP Server

You can connect to the server using vsftpd path ftp://yorudomain.com or your FTP client.

If you have any other faster ways to use vsftpd on CentOS, please share below!

I think this is not necessary if we use a hosting control panel like cPanel, Plesk or directadmin, right?

Because FTP was integrated and installed already on these panels.
