Bftpd FOR LINUX

Bftpd is an open source, cross-platform, fast, easy-to-use, small and easy-to-configure FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server (non-interactive daemon) designed for Linux kernel-based and UNIX-like operating systems. It is implemented in C and is well known as a very secure FTP daemon.

Key Features:

• Support for most RFC FTP commands


• On-the-fly compression and archiving support using the tar.gz format


• Strong security with chroot


• Support for SITE CHOWN and SITE CHMOD

The Bftpd FTP daemon eliminates the need for configuration files, logs its actions to wtmp, syslog or to a custom log file, and provides support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) and passwd/shadow passwords.

Command-line Options:

• Ability to run the daemon via the inetd Internet service daemon


• Run in TCP listen mode without pre-fork()


• Run without a configuration file with default settings


• Read a custom configuration file instead of the one located on /etc/bftpd.conf

Being written entirely in the C programming language, the software is small and fast. It is a breeze to install Bftpd on your GNU/Linux system or FreeBSD distribution (both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures are supported).

Installation Steps:

1. Get the latest version from Softpedia


2. Save it on your Home folder


3. Extract the archive


4. Open a terminal emulator


5. Navigate to the location of the extracted files


6. Run the "./configure && make" command to configure and compile the project


7. Execute the "make install" command as root or with sudo to install it system-wide
