You can use the `proftpd -V` output to see, among other details, the default location of the config file that the ProFTPD daemon will use/load: ``` $ /usr/local/sbin/proftpd -V ......

The `lsof` tool lists _currently opened files_; ProFTPD does not keep an open file descriptor for its configuration file(s). Instead, on startup (and on restart, _e.g._ via the `SIGHUP` signal),...

Encryption, in general, is used to protect the data so encrypted from unwanted eyes. For this particular requested feature, whom would we be protecting files, only server-side, from accessing? Other...

Thanks for pointing out this module! As for the requirements for inclusion, I don't know that I've ever codified them explicitly. But they would include licensing (the core distribution uses...

Good catch! I'm working now on tracking down and fixing this unexpected behavior. One thing I've noticed so far, is that if you also add: ``` SocketBindTight on ``` to...

Another quirk to consider here is that, in general, ProFTPD uses the _first_ appearance of a configuration directive of a given name that appears in its configuration, not the last....

Another possibility/approach is to use something like this in your drop-in `conf.d/` file, to force the default vhost from `/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf` to listen only on localhost -- so that you can...

@nilseckert Were you able to test any of the suggested workarounds, to see if they meet your needs?

> I tested with Protocols sftp, but ProFTPD still bound to port 21. Correct; hopefully, though, any attempt to _use_ FTP (rather than SFTP) would be rejected. So if the...
