| What is this? |
| ============= |
| |
| vsftpd is an FTP server, or daemon. The "vs" stands for Very Secure. Obviously |
| this is not a guarantee, but a reflection that I have written the entire |
| codebase with security in mind, and carefully designed the program to be |
| resilient to attack. |
| |
| Recent evidence shows that vsftpd is also extremely fast and scalable. vsftpd |
| has achieved ~4000 concurrent users on a single machine, in a production |
| environment. |
| |
| vsftpd is now a proven stable solution. Of particular note, RedHat used vsftpd |
| to enable ftp.redhat.com to support 15,000 concurrent users across their |
| server pool. This extreme load was generated by the release of RedHat 7.2 to |
| the world. |
| vsftpd now powers some of the largest and most prestigious sites on the |
| internet. |
