What is this? ============= vsftpd is an FTP server, or daemon. The "vs" stands for Very Secure. Obviously this is not a guarantee, but a reflection that I have written the entire codebase with security in mind, and carefully designed the program to be resilient to attack. Recent evidence shows that vsftpd is also extremely fast and scalable. vsftpd has achieved ~4000 concurrent users on a single machine, in a production environment. vsftpd is now a proven stable solution. Of particular note, RedHat used vsftpd to enable ftp.redhat.com to support 15,000 concurrent users across their server pool. This extreme load was generated by the release of RedHat 7.2 to the world. vsftpd now powers some of the largest and most prestigious sites on the internet. Installation ============ Please see the INSTALL file. Configuration ============= All configuration options are documented in the manual page vsftpd.conf.5. Various example configurations are discussed in the EXAMPLE directory. Frequently asked questions are tackled in the FAQ file.
