vsftpd [configuration file]

vsftpd is the Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The server can be launched via a "super-server" such as inetd(8) or xinetd(8). Alternatively, vsftpd can be launched in standalone mode, in which case vsftpd itself will listen on the network. This latter mode is easier to use, and recommended. It is activated by setting listen=YES in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf. Direct execution of the vsftpd binary will then launch the FTP service ready for immediate client connections.

An optional [configuration file] may be given on the command line. This configuration files has to be owned by root. The default configuration file is /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.
