ProFTPD is an enhanced FTP server with a focus toward simplicity, security,
and ease of configuration. It features a very Apache-like configuration
syntax, and a highly customizable server infrastructure, including support for
multiple 'virtual' FTP servers, anonymous FTP, and permission-based directory
visibility.
This package defaults to the standalone behavior of ProFTPD, but all the
needed scripts to have it run by systemd instead are included.
Update Information:
Cumulative bug-fix release from upstream. Includes fix for a possible SQL- injection issue via mod_sql (CVE-2026-42167). Note that mod_sql is not enabled by default.
