Bug Description

https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html

Context:
Now restart vsftpd, and non-anonymous users will be forced to use FTPS:

sudo restart vsftpd
To allow users with a shell of /usr/sbin/nologin access to FTP, but have no shell access, edit /etc/shells adding the nologin shell:

"sudo restart vsftpd" should be "sudo service vsftpd restart"

Shouldn't it actually be:

sudo systemctl restart vsftpd.service

?

Ubuntu uses Systemd Systems now,

so use

systemctl start vsftpd

should just do fine
