Troll-ftpd is smaller and uses less resources than older servers, and executes no external programs. It allows virtual-IP servers, supports only the most-used features and commands of FTP, and leaves out everything which is deprecated, meaningless, or insecure.

Release Notes: This version fixes a minor denial of security problem. IPv6 support will be added and any new security problems will be fixed, but apart from that, this is probably the last release. At least two projects use troll-ftpd as a base: silug ftpd (a threaded ftpd largely based on troll-ftpd but trying to reach even higher performance), and pure-ftpd (a GNU project which uses troll-ftpd and adds a lot of features, even including "fortune" support).


No changes have been submitted for this release.

Troll-FTPd is now Pure-FTPd .
Troll-FTPd is no more supported by his original
author. But the project was continued, has new
maintainers, and has now plenty of features. See
the Pure-FTPd
project.

ASCII support, sendfile(2) usage, PAM support patch...
I've hacked on the code some to add PAM support. I also added
support for ASCII mode transfers and I made it use sendfile(2), instead of memory mapping, for binary transfers. I have not yet measured if it gives an performance increase.
ASCII mode transfers are real CPU hoggers and they can be improved a lot! It is also not 100% correct although it works in the general case (windows lusers uploading scripts...)
