Hi All,
Please feel free to correct any misconceptions in my premises as I get to my question. I have about 6 ftp services running on a CentOS system that is going down for service, and I want to move the ftp services to a VM on another network. These are all running on Proftpd, with fairly complicated directory/permissions/rate control layouts, as proftpd nicely supports.
First, it appears that RH and CentOS have dropped proftpd since I last looked and are now only shipping vsftpd in the repositories.
Second, I looked at the vsftpd site, and noticed a complete absence of documentation (other than a basic bare-bones manpage), so I have no idea if vsftpd will support anything that I'm doing with proftpd, or any information about how to configure anything.
Obviously I could just install the latest version of proftpd from source on the new host and get on with my life, but is there any reason to bite the bullet and try to convert my ftp sites to a new, basically undocumented ftp server?
Any input appreciated, especially on conversions of complicated ftp sites from proftpd to vsftpd.
Thanks, --Bill
