VSFTPD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual VSFTPD(8)NAME
vsftpd — Very Secure FTP Daemon
SYNOPSIS
vsftpd [configuration file]
DESCRIPTION
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). Alterna‐
tively, 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.
