B ftp daemon

Usage

bftpd [{-c confpath | -n}] [{-d | -D | -i}]

Overview

bftpd is a very configurable FTP server that uses chroot without special setup or directory preparation.

Options

-c

Override the default path of the configuration file (normally /etc/bftpd.conf).

-n

Do not use any configuration file; use the default values for everything instead. This is only suitable for very minimalistic configurations.

-d

Start bftpd in daemon mode (without inetd).

-D

Start bftpd in daemon mode without forking so that the daemon can be killed with Ctrl+C.

-i

Start bftpd in inetd mode. This is the default.
