That was my conclusion also. ftp is the transport of files instead of usb-hdd and consorts
I have a fully working prodtpd on an rp4 dietpi. With mod_unix.c,mod_sql.c together. as an example failcount, active, disabled. Login log, “download,delete,upload login”, Limits and its histories, tallies and its histories. I also modeled the database with tables. it was a mess considering I've been doing this work for many years "35" what I would do for the website is transfer 1:1 and only then implement the changes. The site also deserves attention. hip hip hurray for AI. That way I found it faster. I also have a wish list for the proftpd software. 1. How large a file may be for uploading and downloading files and not the use of tallies or processing in tallies. 2. A ftp client so that all data can be collected on this FTP server and the files can be further distributed. So that not everyone has to retrieve their own downloads/uploads from all over the world. 3. A client https to ftpserver 4. A client Sharepoint to ftpserver 5. which vsftp is good at and proftpd is less good at the rest are all workarounds and I would have preferred to a loadmodule, but I don't know how and what program language is used. Also the use of github. I started developing applications in 1983 and have seen a lot of code since then and this is what I want to understand. would be useful for a PDF Frank Van: Marian Marinov <[email protected]> Verzonden: zondag 12 april 2026 16:17 Aan: Jaroslaw Rafa <[email protected]> CC: [email protected] Onderwerp: Re: [Proftpd-devel] Aging state of ProFTPD Project infrastructure I'm working in the webhosting industry. Still the perdomenant method for uploading websites is ftp, yes ftp over tls or sftp, but still ftp.

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] <mailto:[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] <mailto:[email protected]> > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/proftp-devel
