= What is ProFTPD? =
ProFTPD is a high-performance, extremely configurable, and most of all a secure FTP server, featuring Apache-like configuration and blazing performance.

== Installing ProFTPD ==
ProFTPD can be installed by opening a terminal and typing the following command
{{{ sudo apt-get install proftpd }}}

You can also find alternate ProFTPD packages to install depending on your needs, by entering the following command into a terminal.

{{{ sudo apt-cache search proftpd }}}

''' The following packages can be installed: '''
 * proftpd - Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon
 * proftpd-common - Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon
 * proftpd-doc - Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon (Documentation)
 * proftpd-ldap - Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon (with LDAP support)
 * proftpd-mysql - Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon (with SQL support)
 * proftpd-pgsql - Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon (with SQL support)
=== Configuring ProFTPD ===
To configure ProFTP, open up your favorite text editor, and open the file /etc/proftpd.conf

Most of the values already set in the default configuration file you will not need to change.

The only ones you might need to change are the following
 * "Server Name"(This can be changed to whatever you would like)
 * "Server Type"(The two options are '''standalone''' or '''inetd'''. If you select standalone, ProFTPD will have to be started from a terminal. If you choose inetd, ProFTPD will start up when your machine boots.)
 * "Port" (You should only change this if you are worried about security)
Next to figure out ... how to configure a single user to login rather then the default PAM authentication model which uses standard unix accounts for login.
