bftpd is a very configurable Linux FTP server which can do chroot without special configuration or directory preparation. It will work out-of-the-box with almost no configuration required, and works on all Unix variants tested. Most FTP commands are supported, and user authentication is done via passwd/shadow or PAM. tar/gzip on-the-fly is supported.

Recent releases


Changes: This release brings the stable branch up to date with all bugfixes and improvements in the development tree.


Changes: This release provides one bugfix that would cause problems or a crash in environments where bftpd was started without stdin, stdout, or stderr streams.


Changes: This release no longer drops connections when an invalid username/password combination is given. Connections are still dropped when the server is full or when configured to deny logins.


Changes: This release adds fixes for string manipulation, forces password checking for better Web browser compatibility, and adds two new configuration options for improved flexibility.


Changes: This release brings two small bugfixes to Bftpd. The first fixes permissions applied to newly created directories. The other fix prevents crashes that may occur when reading certain configuration files.

I have done a little more tweaking to the bFTPd program.
Tried to get rid of stale connections, avoid some control timeouts and added the ability to limit the number of connections from one IP address.

Great Program
This is a great program. It's small, it's fast and very easy to configure for your system.
I have editted some of the code to allow the commands
mget/mput. If anyone would like a copy of the modified code, please e-mail me at slicer69 at hotmail dot com with the subject line "bFTPd".
My hat off to the author for such a great FTP server.
