What is this?
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
vsftpd is an FTP server, or daemon. The "vs" stands for Very Secure. Obviously
|
|
this is not a guarantee, but a reflection that I have written the entire
|
|
codebase with security in mind, and carefully designed the program to be
|
|
resilient to attack.
|
|
|
|
Recent evidence shows that vsftpd is also extremely fast and scalable. vsftpd
|
|
has achieved ~4000 concurrent users on a single machine, in a production
|
|
environment.
|
|
|
|
vsftpd is now a proven stable solution. Of particular note, RedHat used vsftpd
|
|
to enable ftp.redhat.com to support 15,000 concurrent users across their
|
|
server pool. This extreme load was generated by the release of RedHat 7.2 to
|
|
the world.
|
|
vsftpd now powers some of the largest and most prestigious sites on the
|
|
internet.
