NAME
       proftpd   Professional configurable, secure file transfer protocol server

SYNOPSIS
       proftpd [  hlntv ] [  c config file ] [  d debuglevel ] [  p 0|1 ]

DESCRIPTION
       proftpd  is  the Professional File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon.  The server may be invoked by the Internet "super server" inetd(8) each time a con Äê
       nection to the FTP service is made, or alternatively it can be run as a standalone daemon.

       When proftpd is run in standalone mode and it receives a SIGHUP then it will reread its configuration file.  When run  in  standalone  mode  without  the   n
       option, the main proftpd daemon writes its process ID to /var/run/run/proftpd.pid to make it easy to know which process to SIGHUP.

OPTIONS
        h,  help   Display a short usage description, including all available options.

        n,  nodaemon
                   Runs the proftpd process in standalone mode (must be configured as such in the configuration file), but does not background the process or disas Äê
                   sociate it from the controlling tty.  Additionally, all output (log or debug messages) are sent to stderr,  rather  than  the  syslog  mechanism.
                   Most often used with the  d option for debugging.

        q,  quiet  Quiet mode; don't send logging information to standard error when running with the  n option.

        v,  version
                   Displays the version number of ProFTPD to stdout.

        D,  define parameter
                   Sets  a  configuration  parameter which can be used <IfDefine>...</IfDefine> sections in the configuration files to conditionally skip or process
                   commands.

        d,  debug debuglevel
                   Sets proftpd's internal debug level (normally 0).  The debuglevel should be an integer value from 0 to 10, with  higher  numbers  producing  more
                   debug output.  Normally, debug messages are sent to syslog using the DEBUG facility, however if the  n option is used, all such output is sent to
                   stderr.

        c,  config config file
                   Specifies an alternate config file to be parsed at startup, rather than the default  configuration  file.   The  default  configuration  file  is
                   /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

        N,  nocollision
                   Disables address/port collision checking.

        V,  settings
                   Displays various compile time settings and exits.

        t,  configtest
                   Read the configuration file, report any syntax errors, and exit.

        p,  persistent 0|1
                   Disables  (0)  or enables (1) the default persistent password support, which is determined at configure time for each platform.  This option only
                   affects the default support, it can still be overridden at run time with the PersistentPasswd directive.

        l,  list   Lists all modules compiled into proftpd.

        4,  ipv4   Support IPv4 functionality only, regardless of whether the   enable ipv6 configure option was used.

        6,  ipv6   Support IPv6 connections and lookup of IPv6 addresses for server DNS names.  This is enabled by default, if the   enable ipv6 configure option is
                   used.
