FTP-Server ProFTPD GUI/Webschnittstellen#41

The ProFTPD is versatilely configurable via the file /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf (on earlier systems like Ubuntu 6.10 via /etc/proftd.conf) and has a configuration similar to the Apache web server. Among other things, virtual servers can also be created and managed. The server can be started as “standalone” or via inetd. IPv6 support is also available. A modular structure allows SSL/TLS encryption, or extensions such as LDAP or SQL.

Like most server programs under Unix/Linux, the ProFTPD program is operated via the command line. However, there is a selection of additional programs that provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for ProFTPD. The purpose of such graphical user interfaces is to make the configuration and operation of the server, and in particular the monitoring of events on the server, more convenient and clearer. A selection of existing GUIs for ProFTPD is:

GAdmin-ProFTPD, a GTK+ frontend for GNOME and KDE, as part of the GUI collection GAdmintools. GAdmin-ProFTPD does not necessarily have to be installed on the machine running ProFTPD, but can remotely control remote servers via SSH.
ProFTPD Admin
ProFTPD PHP/MySQL administration tool
ProFTPD Administrator
ProFTPd admin (php/mysql/self hosts)
ProFTPd admin (php/mysql,self hosted), fork with login
Note: The use of a GUI does not exclude the parallel operation of the server via the command line, also several GUIs can be operated in parallel.

We do not have a need for an FTP server as we already offer SFTP for all services and SSH as well.
