1. How large a file may be for uploading and downloading files and not the use
of tallies or processing in tallies.
Are you saying you want a max file size limit? I believe mod_xfer
already implements that via MaxRetrieveFileSize and MaxStoreFileSize
5. which vsftp is good at and proftpd is less good at
Can you elaborate on this? What would you want to see here?

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.
* How large a file may be for uploading and downloading files and not

* 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.
* A client https to ftpserver
* A client Sharepoint to ftpserver
* 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

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 generally like the current website and I would love to keep it as
is, but for new people, the website states one thing: OLD SOFTWARE
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.
