wu-ftpd: powerful and widely used FTP server This FTP daemon, originally from the Washington University of St. Louis, is a powerful, and widely used replacement FTP server for Unix systems. The FTP protocol is a method of transferring files between machines on a network and/or over the Internet. Besides fully supporting the FTP protocol defined in RFCs 959 and 1579 (and others), it adds the following features: o logging of transfers, o logging of commands, o on the fly compression and archiving, o classification of users on type and location, o per class limits, o per directory upload permissions, o restricted guest accounts, o system wide and per directory messages, o directory aliases, o cdpath, o filename filter, o virtual host support (similar to the Apache HTTP server). This release is maintained by the WU-FTPD Development Group as a public service to the Internet. From Debian 3.0r0 APT
