Description of Glftpd

glFTPd is a free FTP server for UNIX based systems. It is highly configurable and its possibilities are endless. One of the main differences between many other ftp servers and glFTPd is that it has its own user database which can be completely maintained online using ftp site commands. glFTPd runs within a chroot environment which makes it relatively safe.

Lightweight File Transfer Server - Good Security

I like how you can set up permissions to restrict access (you can even create groups) without having to use a complicated directory structure. There aren't any features that I dislike so far, but there could always be more! Sometimes connecting via ssh is slower than directly accessing through an IP address. This isn't really noticeable unless you have multiple users in your system trying to connect at once. We've been able to get around this by either setting our router to give us dynamic dns…

Pros
  • It is also very light on resources and is very easy to configure
Cons
  • The interface to navigate through the server is not the easiest to use
