PURE-FTPD-WRAPPER(8)              Debian GNU/Linux Documentation             PURE-FTPD-WRAPPER(8)



NAME
       pure-ftpd-wrapper - configures and starts Pure-FTPd daemon

SYNOPSIS
       pure-ftpd-wrapper

DESCRIPTION
       pure-ftpd-wrapper reads the configuration for the Pure-FTPd daemon from files in the
       directory /etc/pure-ftpd/conf. Each file in this directory is related to a command line
       option. No more than one line with configuration values is allowed. Empty lines or lines
       starting with the comment character "#" are discarded.

       The Pure-FTPd daemon allows to use different authentication methods together. The
       authentication methods are tried in the order they are specified on the command line. In
       order to achieve the same flexibility with files in the /etc/pure-ftpd directory, pure-
       ftpd-wrapper checks all valid symbolic links within the directory /etc/pure-ftpd/auth in
       alphabetical order. E.g., a link in this directory pointing to /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PureDB
       would enable authentication against a PureDB database.

       There are no means to configure the PIDFile setting, it is hardwired to
       /var/run/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.pid in this script.

       You can display the Pure-FTPd commandline options with "-s" or "--show-options":

           pure-ftpd-wrapper --show-options
