ProFTPD grew out of the desire to have a secure and configurable
FTP server, and out of a significant admiration of the Apache web
server. There are currently a very limited number of FTP servers
running on unix (or unix-like) hosts. The most commonly used server
is probably wu-ftpd. While wu-ftpd provides excellent performance
and is generally a good product, it lacks numerous features found
in newer Win32 FTP servers, and has a poor security history. Many
people, including the developers who work on ProFTPD have spent a
great deal of time fixing bugs and hacking features into wu-ftpd.
Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that a complete redesign was
necessary in order to implement the configurability and features
desired. ProFTPD is not a hack based on any other server, it's an
independent source tree from the ground up. Click here for a small
list of some of the sites ProFTPD powers -- many of them handling
large volumes of traffic on a daily basis.
