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 6
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.
