10 vsftpd is the Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The server can
11 be launched via a “super-server” such as inetd(8) or xinetd(8). Alterna‐
12 tively, vsftpd can be launched in standalone mode, in which case vsftpd
13 itself will listen on the network. This latter mode is easier to use, and
14 recommended. It is activated by setting listen=YES in
15 /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf. Direct execution of the vsftpd binary will then
16 launch the FTP service ready for immediate client connections.

19 An optional [configuration file] may be given on the command line. This
20 configuration files has to be owned by root. The default configuration
21 file is /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.
