Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2015-7979
2015-10-01 15:59:40.381900
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : proftpd
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 1.3.3g
Release : 6.el6
URL :
http://www.proftpd.org/
Summary : Flexible, stable and highly-configurable FTP server
Description :
ProFTPD is an enhanced FTP server with a focus toward simplicity, security,
and ease of configuration. It features a very Apache-like configuration
syntax, and a highly customizable server infrastructure, including support for
multiple 'virtual' FTP servers, anonymous FTP, and permission-based directory
visibility.
This package defaults to the standalone behavior of ProFTPD, but all the
needed scripts to have it run by xinetd instead are included.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update adds a proftpd-utils sub-package containing some utilities that may
be useful for some proftpd users: * ftpasswd: generate passwd(5) files for use
with AuthUserFile * ftpcount: show the current number of connections per
server/virtualhost * ftpmail: monitor transfer log and send email when files
uploaded * ftpquota: manipulate quota tables * ftptop: show the current status
of FTP sessions * ftpwho: show the current process information for each FTP
session Note that ftpcount, ftptop and ftpwho were previously included in the
main proftpd package, and the other tools have not previously been packaged for
EPEL-6. Splitting out a proftpd-utils sub-package results in the main proftpd
package having no dependency on perl, as per the current Fedora proftpd package.
