The "vs" stands for Very Secure. Obviously 13this is not a guarantee, but a reflection that I have written the entire 14codebase with security in mind, and carefully designed the program to be 15resilient to attack. 16 17Recent evidence shows that vsftpd is also extremely fast and scalable. vsftpd 18has achieved ~4000 concurrent users on a single machine, in a production 19environment. 20 21vsftpd is now a proven stable solution. Of particular note, RedHat used vsftpd 22to enable ftp.redhat.com to support 15,000 concurrent users across their 23server pool. This extreme load was generated by the release of RedHat 7.2 to 24the world. 25vsftpd now powers some of the largest and most prestigious sites on the 26internet. 27 28Installation 29============ 30 31Please see the INSTALL file. 32 33Configuration 34============= 35 36All configuration options are documented in the manual page vsftpd.conf.5. 37Various example configurations are discussed in the EXAMPLE directory. 38Frequently asked questions are tackled in the FAQ file. 39 40Plug 41==== 42 43I'm always interested in security-related job offers.
