# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file.
# It establishes a single server and a single anonymous login.
# It assumes that you have a user/group "nobody" and "ftp"
# for normal/anonymous operation.

#ServerType standalone
ServerType inetd
DefaultServer on
DefaultRoot /mnt/e/ftphome
# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.

# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask 022
# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value. Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd)
MaxInstances 30
# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User nobody
Group nogroup
# This next option is required for NIS or NIS+ to work properly:
#PersistentPasswd off
SystemLog /var/log/proftpd.log
TransferLog /var/log/xferlog
# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
