🌈 bftpd(8) — B FTP Daemon 🌈

okay so this is the manual page for bftpd, the B FTP Daemon, straight out of the System Manager's Manual. bestie, it's a whole Unix vibe and also a very real FTP server. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

bftpd — B FTP Daemon. that's it, that's the name. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bftpd [-c confpath| -n] [-d|-D|-i]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bftpd is a very configurable FTP server that uses chroot without special setup or directory preparation. no cap, that's the iconic part: chroot but make it effortless. 🦋

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -c — override the default path of the configuration file (normally /etc/bftpd.conf). yes, you can point it somewhere else. slay. ✨
  • -n — do not use any configuration file; use the default values for everything instead. this is only suitable for very minimalistic configurations, so don't expect it to be your full setup era. 🙈
  • -d — start bftpd in daemon mode (without inetd). daemon mode, no inetd invited. 💀
  • -D — start bftpd in daemon mode without forking so that the daemon can be killed with Ctrl+C. keyboard interrupt, but make it intentional. 👑
  • -i — start bftpd in inetd mode. this is the default. so if you picked nothing, bestie, you picked this. 🌈
