Old or new, if somebody *needs* a FTP daemon, what are the choices? I can think only of vsftpd as an alternative, and its website looks equally "old" ;) (and the last release, according to that website, has been in 2021). All others are far less popular, AFAIK. And ProFTPd has some features, like mod_exec or mod_ifsession, that other servers - to my knowledge - don't have, so it's an obvious choice if someone needs such features. And if someone doesn't need a FTP daemon, it doesn't matter if the software is new or old ;). And it is worth to note that after withdrawal of support for FTP protocol and "ftp://"; URLs from major web browsers, FTP usage in the public Internet probably dropped to near-zero values. All sites with eg. downloadable software that previously used anonymous FTP to provide downloads have been forced to switch to HTTPS (as plain HTTP is prominently marked "insecure" by browsers and some browsers even refuse to download files over plain HTTP with default config). The places where FTP is still used and relevant are now mostly various internal networks. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ ProFTPD Developers List <[email protected]> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/proftp-devel
