| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 1 ProFTPD is a highly configurable GPL-licensed FTP server |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 2 |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 3 ProFTPD grew out of the desire to have a secure and configurable |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 4 FTP server, and out of a significant admiration of the Apache |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 5 web server. |

| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 7 When the Project began, the most commonly used server was wu-ftpd. |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 8 While wu-ftpd provides excellent performance and is generally a |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 9 good product, it lacks numerous features found in newer Win32 FTP |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 10 servers and has a poor security history. |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 11 Many people, including the developers who work on ProFTPD, had |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 12 spent a great deal of time fixing bugs and hacking features into |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 13 wu-ftpd. |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 14 Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that a complete redesign |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 15 was necessary in order to implement the configurability and |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 16 features desired. |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 17 |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 18 ProFTPD is not a hack based on any other server, it's an independent |
| Hans-G?nter@25149 | 19 source tree from the ground up. |
