Pure FTP Server is a fast, production quality, standards-conformant FTP server based on Troll-FTPd. Pure FTP Server has no known vulnerability, it is trivial to set up, and it is especially designed for modern kernels.

Features include PAM support, IPv6, chroot()ed home directories, virtual domains, built-in 'ls', FXP protocol, anti-warez system, bandwidth throttling, restricted ports for passive downloads, an LDAP backend, XML output, and more.

Beginners can install a Pure-FTPd server in 5 minutes. It can be as simple as installing the package, typing "pure-ftpd &" and... that's all. You already have a running server, and clients can start to connect.

There's no need to review any long and complex configuration file, where possible mistakes could have security and reliability implications. Pure-FTPd uses simple command-line switches to enable the features you need.

You can limit the number of simultaneous users, limit their bandwidth to avoid starving your ADSL or cable-modem link, hide system files (chroot), have upload/download ratios, and moderate new uploads.

Custom messages can be displayed at login-time (even changing fortune files) and when an user enters a new directory. Also, to avoid your disks being filled up, you can defined a maximal percentage, and new uploads will be disallowed once this percentage is reached.

The FXP (server-to-server) protocol is implemented. It can be available for everyone, or only for authenticated users.

Kiddies are using common brute-forcing tools that are trying to discover hidden directories. Pure-FTPd provides a protection against this. Anonymous access is secure by default. For instance, users can't access dot-files (.bash_history, .rhosts, ...) unless you explicitely enable this.

And to watch who's doing what, the pure-ftpwho command shows a table with currently active sessions, how much bandwidth is taken by every user, what files they are uploading or downloading, where they are coming from, etc.

What is new in this release:

  • SITE UTIME now supports the 2-arguments syntax in addition to the
  • 5-arguments syntax.
  • Support for the MFMT command has been implemented.
  • A default directory can now be specified when using the LDAP backend.

What is new in version 1.0.31:

  • The list of allowed ciphers for SSL/TLS connections can now be specified (-tlsciphersuite / -J).
  • Shell-like escaping is now partially handled when emulating the "ls" command in order to improve compatibility with legacy clients.
  • Linking issues with MySQL support on Fedora have been solved.

What is new in version 1.0.30:

  • pure-quotacheck can now work with a large number of files.
  • OPTS UTF-8 is now an alias to OPTS UTF8.
  • Fix a STARTTLS flaw similar to Postfix's CVE-2011-0411. If you're using TLS, upgrading is recommended.

What is new in version 1.0.29:

  • Fixed corruption when downloading files larger than 4 Gb on a 32-bits arch.
  • Fixed error on exit on Linux.
  • Downloading should be slightly faster.

What is new in version 1.0.24:

  • The LDAP schema has been fixed.
  • LDAP authentication through binding is now possible in addition to passwords. This allows for the FTP server to run with an unprivileged LDAP account.
  • In LDAP objects, the "enabled" value is accepted again as a FTPStatus property.
  • Privilege separation is now enabled by default.
  • The server should now properly compile on Solaris with privsep.
  • Charset conversions are properly made on directory names.
  • Transfers now handle every kind of disconnection.
  • More informative log messages for errors and activity reporting.
  • Virtual quotas are way more reliable and uploads are interrupted as soon as quotas are exceeded.
  • Atomic uploads are only used when necessary and only if notruncate is enabled.
  • Dangling .pureftpd-upload files should be a thing of past.
  • Enhanced conformance with RFCs and better compatibility with FTP clients.
  • Improved SSL performance, compatibility and commands support.
  • By default, up to 10000 files per directory can be listed instead of 2000.
  • ALLO can now tell clients whether an upload would blow quotas before the upload actually starts.
  • PAM is now enabled by default on OSX.
  • Switch euid to the _pure-ftpd account (unless it's nonexistent) in the privsep process.
  • without-banner is not necessary any more. Having a cookie file (fortunefile=...) automatically disables the default banner, thus allowing full customization of the welcome banner.
  • ./configure localstatedir is now honored in order to change the run-time directory.
  • Support for building a FTPS (implicit SSL/TLS) server, using with-implicittls
