vsftpd
is the Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The server can be launched
via a
``super-server''
such as
inetd(8)
or
xinetd(8).
Alternatively, vsftpd can be launched in standalone mode, in which case vsftpd
itself will listen on the network. This latter mode is easier to use, and
recommended. It is activated by setting
listen=YES
in
/etc/vsftpd.conf
Direct execution of the
vsftpd
binary will then launch the FTP service ready for immediate client connections.
OPTIONS
An optional
[configuration file]
may be given on the command line. The default configuration file is
/etc/vsftpd.conf
