.TH proftpd 8 "July 2000" .\" Process with .\" groff -man -Tascii proftpd.1 .\" .SH NAME proftpd \- Professional configurable, secure file transfer protocol server .SH SYNOPSIS .B proftpd [ .B \-hlntv ] [ .BI \-c " config\-file" ] [ .BI \-d " debuglevel" ] [ .BI \-p " 0|1" ] .SH DESCRIPTION .B proftpd is the Professional File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon. The server may be invoked by the Internet "super-server" inetd(8) each time a connection to the FTP service is made, or alternatively it can be run as a standalone daemon. .PP When .B proftpd is run in standalone mode and it receives a SIGHUP then it will reread its configuration file. When run in standalone mode without the .B \-n option, the main .B proftpd daemon writes its process ID to .B /opt/lampp/var/proftpd.pid to make it easy to know which process to SIGHUP. .SH OPTIONS .TP 12 .B \-h,\--help Display a short usage description, including all available options. .TP .B \-n,\--nodaemon Runs the proftpd process in standalone mode (must be configured as such in the configuration file), but does not background the process or disassociate it from the controlling tty. Additionally, all output (log or debug messages) are sent to stderr, rather than the syslog mechanism. Most often used with the \fB-d option\fP for debugging. .TP .B \-q,\--quiet Quiet mode; don't send logging information to standard error when running with the \fB-n option\fP. .TP .B \-v,\--version Displays the version number of ProFTPD to stdout. .TP .BI \-D,\--define " parameter" Sets a configuration \fIparameter\fP which can be used <IfDefine>...</IfDefine> sections in the configuration files to conditionally skip or process commands. .TP .BI \-d,\--debug " debuglevel" Sets proftpd's internal debug level (normally 0). The \fIdebuglevel\fP should be an integer value from 0 to 10, with higher numbers producing more debug output. Normally, debug messages are sent to \fBsyslog\fP using the \fBDEBUG\fP facility, however if the \fB-n option\fP is used, all such output is sent to stderr. .TP .BI \-c,\--config " config\-file" Specifies an alternate \fIconfig\-file\fP to be parsed at startup, rather than the default configuration file. The default configuration file is .B /opt/lampp/etc/proftpd.conf .br .TP .BI \-N,\--nocollision Disables address/port collision checking. .TP .BI \-V,\--settings Displays various compile-time settings and exits. .TP .BI \-S,\--serveraddr Specifies an IP address for the host machine, avoiding an DNS lookup of the hostname .TP .BI \-t,\--configtest Read the configuration file, report any syntax errors, and exit. .TP .BI \-p,\--persistent " 0|1" Disables (0) or enables (1) the default persistent password support, which is determined at configure time for each platform. This option \fBonly\fP affects the default support, it can still be overridden at run-time with the \fBPersistentPasswd\fP directive. .TP .BI \-l,\--list Lists all modules compiled into proftpd. .TP .BI \-4,\--ipv4 Support IPv4 functionality \fBonly\fP, regardless of whether the \fB--enable-ipv6\fP configure option was used. .TP .BI \-6,\--ipv6 Support IPv6 connections and lookup of IPv6 addresses for server DNS names. This is enabled by default, if the \fB--enable-ipv6\fP configure option is used. .SH FILES .PD 0 .B /opt/lampp/sbin/proftpd .br .B /opt/lampp/etc/proftpd.conf .br .B /opt/lampp/bin/ftpwho .br .B /opt/lampp/bin/ftpcount .br .B /opt/lampp/bin/ftptop .br .B /opt/lampp/sbin/ftpshut .br .B /var/log/xferlog .br .B /opt/lampp/var/proftpd.pid .br .B /opt/lampp/var/proftpd.scoreboard .PD .SH AUTHORS .PP ProFTPD is written and maintained by a number of people, full credits can be found on .BR http://www.proftpd.org/credits.html .PD .SH SEE ALSO .BR inetd(8), ftp(1), ftpwho(1), ftpcount(1), ftpshut(8) .PP Full documentation on ProFTPD, including configuration and FAQs, is available at .BR http://www.proftpd.org/ .PP For help/support, try the ProFTPD mailing lists, detailed on .BR http://www.proftpd.org/lists.html .PP Report bugs at .BR http://bugs.proftpd.org/
