     1.4 +ProFTPD is a highly configurable FTP daemon for Unix and Unix-like operating
     1.5 +systems.
     1.6 +
     1.7 +ProFTPD grew from a desire for a secure and configurable FTP server. It was
     1.8 +inspired by a significant admiration of the Apache web server. Unlike most
     1.9 +other Unix FTP servers, it has not been derived from the old BSD `ftpd` code
    1.10 +base, but is a completely new design and implementation.
    1.11 +
    1.12 +ProFTPD's extensive configurability provides systems administrators great
    1.13 +flexibility in user authentication and access controls, including virtual users
    1.14 +and easy `chroot()` FTP sessions for individual users.
    1.15 +
    1.16 +ProFTPD is popular with many service providers for delivering update access to
    1.17 +user web pages, without resorting to Unix shell accounts.
    1.18 +
    1.19 +Major Features
    1.20 +--------------
    1.21 +
    1.22 +  - A single main configuration file, with directives and directive groups
    1.23 +    patterned after those of the Apache web server
    1.24 +  - Per directory ".ftpaccess" configuration similar to Apache's ".htaccess"
    1.25 +  - Designed to run either as a stand-alone server or from `inetd`/`xinetd`
    1.26 +  - Multiple virtual FTP servers and anonymous FTP services
    1.27 +  - Multiple password files
    1.28 +  - Shadow password support, including support for expired accounts
    1.29 +  - Multiple authentication methods, including PAM, LDAP, SQL, and RADIUS
    1.30 +  - Virtual users
    1.31 +  - ProFTPD never executes any external program at any time. There is no
    1.32 +    `SITE EXEC` command, and all file and directory listings are generated
    1.33 +    internally, without using an external ls command
    1.34 +  - Anonymous FTP and other chroot directories do not require any specific
    1.35 +    directory structure, executable programs or other system files
    1.36 +  - Modular architecture with an API that facilitates well structured
    1.37 +    extensions to meet user needs
    1.38 +  - Visibility of directories or files controlled based on Unix style
    1.39 +    permissions or user/group ownership
    1.40 +  - Logging and utmp/wtmp support. Logging is compatible with `wu-ftpd`, and
    1.41 +    extended, customizable logging is available
    1.42 +  - If supported by the capabilities the host system, it can run as a
    1.43 +    non-privileged user in stand-alone mode, thwarting attacks aimed at
    1.44 +    exploiting "root" privileges
    1.45 +  - GPLv2 source license. The source code is available to audit
