al@19741 1 Pure-FTPd is a fast, production-quality, standard-conformant FTP server, based
al@19741 2 upon Troll-FTPd.
al@19741 3
al@19741 4 The server has been designed to be secure in default configuration, it has no
al@19741 5 known vulnerability, it is really trivial to set up and it is especially
al@19741 6 designed for modern kernels. It was successfully ported to Linux, FreeBSD,
al@19741 7 DragonflyBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Bitrig, OSX, AIX and iPhone.
al@19741 8
al@19741 9 Features include `chroot()`ed and/or virtual `chroot()`ed home directories,
al@19741 10 virtual domains, built-in `ls`, anti-warez system, configurable ports for
al@19741 11 passive downloads, FXP protocol, bandwidth throttling, ratios, LDAP / MySQL /
al@19741 12 PostgreSQL-based authentication, fortune files, Apache-like log files, fast

al@19741 16 ### Who's using it?
al@19741 17
al@19741 18 Many people new to Unix are running Pure-FTPd because they find it easy to
al@19741 19 install. But that software is also used on embedded systems and highly loaded
al@19741 20 production servers, especially for hosting services.
al@19741 21
al@19741 22 For large sites with centralized user management, Pure-FTPd provides flexible
al@19741 23 authentication schemes including SQL and LDAP backends, plus the ability to
al@19741 24 easily write new custom handlers in any language.
