proFtpd (Pro FTP daemon) is a highly feature rich FTP server, exposing large amount of configuration options to the user.

## Installation

proftpdAUR is available in the AUR. Enable and start `proftpd.service`.

## Troubleshooting

### Anonymous access

To head off a common problem, for anonymous access to work with /bin/false as the shell for the ftp user (the default configuration), you must add the line `RequireValidShell off` to `/etc/proftpd.conf`. Otherwise anonymous logins will receive a 530 error.
