Wait, what? vsftpd server is for an FTP server, I thought the original
question was about the ftp client software.

Running an unmaintained, out-of-date, password based service like FTP
on an obsolete and unsupported operating system is begging for a lot
of trouble if the machine is ever probed by a rootkit. Are you sure
about doing this?
