ProFTPd (Pro FTP daemon) is an FTP server. ProFTPd is open-source and free software that is compatible with Unix-like systems and Microsoft Windows (via Cygwin). Along with vsftpd and Pure-FTPd, ProFTPd is one of the most popular FTP servers in Unix-like environments today.

I. What is ProFTPd?

Compared to those focused on simplicity, speed, or security, the main design goal of ProFTPd is to become an FTP server with many advanced features, providing a large number of configuration options for users.

Another reason to switch to using ProFTPd is that the ProFTPd development team frequently releases updates more than Pure-FTPd.

And currently, DirectAdmin will support both ProFTPd and Pure-FTPd, so we can completely switch between these two FTP server services.

II. Upgrade the ProFTPD version on DirectAdmin

To upgrade the ProFTPD version on DirectAdmin to the latest version, we need to do the following 3 steps.

Step 1: SSH into your DirectAdmin system

To upgrade the ProFTPD version on DirectAdmin, we first need to SSH or access your VPS/server with root privileges. If you don’t know how to SSH into your VPS/Server, you can refer to the following tutorial:

After successfully SSH, we continue with step 2 to check the ProFTPD version in use and the latest version at present.

Step 2: Check the version of ProFTPD in use and the latest one that can be upgraded

After successfully SSH, we use the following command to check the version of ProFTPD in use on the server and the latest version can be upgraded:

AZDIGI Tutorial
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/
./build versions | grep ProFTPD
    

Here are my results:

upgrade-the-proftpd-version-on-directadmin

The version of ProFTPD I’m using is 1.3.6, and the latest version is 1.3.7b.

After knowing that the version we are using is the old version, we can continue to step 3 to perform the ProFTPD version upgrade commands on DirectAdmin.

Step 3: Commands to upgrade ProFTPD version on DirectAdmin

To upgrade the ProFTPD version on DirectAdmin, we execute the commands below:

AZDIGI Tutorial
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild

./build proftpd
    

Explanation of the above commands:

  • Command 1: Move to custombuild folder.
  • Command 2: Update custombuild script.
  • Command 3: Upgrade ProFTPD to the latest version.

Below is the image after you run 3 commands above complete:

Then you can recheck the ProFTPD version with the same command as in step 2.
