Configuring ProFTPd

The operation of ProFTPd can be modified through a configuration file in your /usr/local/etc directory called proftpd.conf. This configuration file can be modified only on the Freedom 400x and above, and must be edited by the superuser.

Support Boundary:

The ProFTP server that is preinstalled on your Freedom server is configured to provide both user-authenticated and anonymous FTP access.  Basic technical assistance in using authenticated and anonymous FTP is provided as long as the customer has not replaced the provided FTP server with an alternate and has not altered the /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf file from the default configuration.

Customers with root enabled products such as the Freedom 400x and greater are welcome to customize the configuration of their ProFTP server, but will not receive technical assistance in doing do and assume responsibility for all FTP related issues once the configuration has been altered.

Custom configuration of the ProFTPd configuration file is beyond the scope of this guide. Some additional features that can be configured through customization include the addition of anonymous upload directories, various security configurations, and many other options. For additional information on ProFTPd, its many options, and its configuration file, please consult the Web site for the ProFTPd Project at the following URL:
