FTP Server
Options for Linux
There are several FTP servers available for
Linux, but three dominate the picture: BSD FTPD The BSD versions of UNIX ship with their own FTP servers, and
various ports of these to Linux exist. Some of these are also known as OpenBSD FTPD. BSD FTPD ports ship with Debian and
SuSE. This server family is often regarded as more secure than other FTP
servers, but it's not very popular in the Linux world. ProFTPd This package, which is headquartered at
with Debian, Mandrake, Slackware, SuSE, and TurboLinux. It's the second most
popular Linux FTP server, and its popularity is on the rise in 2002. Parts
of its operation are modeled after Apache. WU-FTPD The Washington University FTP Daemon (WU-FTPD) is the most readily
available FTP server for Linux. Its main Web site is
it ships with Caldera, Debian, Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE, and TurboLinux. It has
a history of more security problems than other popular FTP servers.Any of these FTP servers will handle basic or
advanced FTP server duties. This chapter describes configuring ProFTPd and
WU-FTPD because they're the most popular servers, and all major Linux
distributions ship with at least one of these servers. ProFTPd is more flexible
than WU-FTPD, and given their relative security histories, ProFTPd is probably
a better choice in most situations. You might want to stick with WU-FTPD if
your distribution ships with it but not ProFTPd, or if you're already familiar
with WU-FTPD. If you're adventurous, you might consider BSD FTPD, but it's
really a small family of servers because there are several different ports to
Linux. Thus, properly documenting it is difficult.
