1 ProFTPD is a highly configurable GPL-licensed FTP server
3 ProFTPD grew out of the desire to have a secure and configurable
4 FTP server, and out of a significant admiration of the Apache
5 web server.
7 When the Project began, the most commonly used server was wu-ftpd.
8 While wu-ftpd provides excellent performance and is generally a
9 good product, it lacks numerous features found in newer Win32 FTP
10 servers and has a poor security history.
11 Many people, including the developers who work on ProFTPD, had
12 spent a great deal of time fixing bugs and hacking features into
13 wu-ftpd.
14 Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that a complete redesign
15 was necessary in order to implement the configurability and
16 features desired.
18 ProFTPD is not a hack based on any other server, it's an independent
19 source tree from the ground up.
