ProFTPD

What is ProFTPD?

ProFTPD is a robust and highly configurable FTP server that prioritizes performance and security. Inspired by the Apache web server, ProFTPD was developed to address the limitations of earlier FTP servers like wu-ftpd, which lacked advanced features and had security vulnerabilities. Unlike lightweight and secure but less configurable options like Troll FTP, ProFTPD strikes a balance by offering a comprehensive feature set while maintaining a focus on protecting user data and system integrity

Highlights

• Highly Configurable: Provides an Apache-like configuration interface to enable extensive customization and control over server settings
• Blazing Performance: Designed for speed and efficiency, delivering high-performance FTP services
• Robust Security: Emphasizes secure file transfer and access, with a strong focus on protecting against vulnerabilities
• Independent Design: Developed from the ground up as a standalone FTP server, not a derivative of existing solutions.
