Description:

FTP4ALL was designed to require no superuser privileges. The
advantages are that FTP4ALL cannot be exploited to gain root access on
a machine. And second, any user on a UNIX box can run this server.

However, FTP4ALL is not designed to replace wu-ftpd or any other
system-level FTP server, for it does not use the default user database
(/etc/passwd or NIS or whatever), or the UNIX file and directory
permissions. Instead, FTP4ALL sets up its own user and group database
and file and directory permission system.

Those and other features like user upload and download ratios, IP
checks, bandwidth limit, transfer statistics make FTP4ALL a good
choice for running a private, specialised FTP site. There is no binary
distribution, the only one is the source distribution. So you must
have a C compiler (gcc preferred) and related tools to compile
FTP4ALL.
