6Ftpd is the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server.

8Important: Release 2.00 incorporates an improved mechanism to restrict
9execution of commands on the server. This is done through use of a
10shell script, ftpdsh. Any earlier ftpd version in use on a system
11accessible from the Internet should be upgraded at least to version 1.01,
12version 2.00 is preferable.

14Installation: unpack the tarball in /usr/local/src or another directory
15of your choice:
16zcat < ftpd200.tar.Z | tar xvfp -
17
18The ftpd200 directory will be created. Read the Makefile to see how
19the program is compiled and installed:
20
21make (or make ftpd) -- compiles the binary
22make install -- installs /usr/bin/in.ftpd, and ftpdsh. Also installs
23 setup.anonftp script.
24make installman -- installs new ftpd.8 man page in /usr/local/man/man8
25
26The shell script setup.anonftp sets up and verifies configuration for
27anonymous ftp. If you provide anonymous ftp you are letting anyone in
28the whole wide world execute a program on your computer. You want to
29make sure it's set up correctly so outsiders can't mess with things
30they shouldn't.
