Name : proftpd
Product : Fedora EPEL 8
Version : 1.3.6c
Release : 3.el8
URL : http://www.proftpd.org/
Summary : Flexible, stable and highly-configurable FTP server
Description :
ProFTPD is an enhanced FTP server with a focus toward simplicity, security,
and ease of configuration. It features a very Apache-like configuration
syntax, and a highly customizable server infrastructure, including support for
multiple 'virtual' FTP servers, anonymous FTP, and permission-based directory
visibility.
This package defaults to the standalone behavior of ProFTPD, but all the
needed scripts to have it run by systemd instead are included.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update includes the `LogOptions` feature backported from proftpd 1.3.7rc4,
which can be used to adjust the format of messages logged to the journal. The
update takes advantage of this new feature to remove the timestamp and hostname
from proftpd's log messages, since systemd logs these details with each message
by itself. As a result, there is less duplicated information in the proftpd-
related log entries. If the change in log format presents an issue for you
(perhaps you use some tool to monitor the logs?), the old behaviour can be
reinstated by commenting out or deleting the `LogOptions` line from
`/etc/proftpd.conf`.
