    8. 

  8. .Nm vsftpd
    9. 

  9. .Op Ar configuration file and / or options
    10. 

  10. .Sh DESCRIPTION
    11. 

  11. .Nm vsftpd
    12. 

  12. is the Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The server can be launched
    13. 

  13. via a
    14. 

  14. .Dq super-server
    15. 

  15. such as
    16. 

  16. .Xr inetd 8
    17. 

  17. or
    18. 

  18. .Xr xinetd 8 .
    19. 

  19. Alternatively, vsftpd can be launched in standalone mode, in which case vsftpd
    20. 

  20. itself will listen on the network. This latter mode is easier to use, and
    21. 

  21. recommended. It is activated by setting
    22. 

  22. .Pa listen=YES
    23. 

  23. in
    24. 

  24. .Pa /etc/vsftpd.conf .
    25. 

  25. Direct execution of the
    26. 

  26. .Nm vsftpd
    27. 

  27. binary will then launch the FTP service ready for immediate client connections.
    28. 

  28. .Sh OPTIONS
    29. 

  29. An optional
    30. 

  30. configuration file or files
    31. 

  31. may be given on the command line. These files must be owned as root if running
    32. 

  32. as root. Any command line option not starting with a "-" character is treated
    33. 

  33. as a config file that will be loaded. Note that config files are loaded in the
    34. 

  34. strict order that they are encountered on the command line.
    35. 

  35. If no config files are specified, the default configuration file of
    36. 

  36. .Pa /etc/vsftpd.conf
    37. 

  37. will be loaded, after all other command line options are processed.
    38. 

  38. .Pp
    39. 

  39. Supported options are:
    40. 

  40. .Bl -tag -width Ds
    41. 

  41. .It Fl v
    42. 

  42. Print the version information and exit, even if other options are encountered.
    43. 

  43. .It Fl ooption=value
    44. 

  44. Set a single option, value pair as per the format in the config file. Multiple
    45. 

  45. -o options are supported, and they are applied in strict order relative to
    46. 

  46. their appearance on the command line, including intermingling with loading of
    47. 

  47. config files.
    48.

  49. .Sh EXAMPLES
    50. 

  50. vsftpd -olisten=NO /etc/vsftpd.conf -oftpd_banner=blah
    51. 

  51. .Pp
    52. 

  52. That example overrides vsftpd's built-in default for the "listen" option to be
    53. 

  53. NO, but then loads /etc/vsftpd.conf which may override that setting. Finally,
    54. 

  54. the "ftpd_banner" setting is set to "blah", which overrides any default vsftpd
    55. 

  55. setting and any identical setting that was in the config file.
