Featureset for Muddleftpd

Very Secure

• Fast and light-weight.
• Runs with or without root access. With root access, it can act like a normal ftp server.
• Has full access list support.
• Includes its own list function and never executes external programs.
• Muddleftpd uses dynamicly allocated strings and data structures to improve overall robustness.

Highly Configurable

• Does not have a pre-conceived view of how a normal ftp server is set up, so it can be configured to do almost anything.
• Authentication modules make supporting multiple authentication methods easy and writing methods eaiser. These modules can even be loaded dynamicly into the server as it runs.
• Supports full shadow password access with account expiry and password expiry.
• PAM (password authentication module) support.
• Non-system password file support. Can be used to set up ftp servers within user accounts.
• Commands can be disabled on a per group basis.
• Supports specifying long replies directly in the config file, saving lots of file reads.

Standard FTP Functions

Extras
