Proftpd is a powerful modular ftp/sftp/ftps server. this file transfer protocol daemon supports also hidden directories, virtual hosts, and per-directory ".ftpaccess" files. it uses a single main configuration file, with a syntax similar to apache.

because of the advanced design, anonymous-ftp directories can have an arbitrary internal structure (bin, lib, etc, and special files are not needed). advanced features such as multiple password files and upload/download ratios are also supported.
