     1.4 +ProFTPD is a highly configurable GPL-licensed FTP server
     1.5 +
     1.6 +ProFTPD grew out of the desire to have a secure and configurable
     1.7 +FTP server, and out of a significant admiration of the Apache
     1.8 +web server.
     1.9 +
    1.10 +When the Project began, the most commonly used server was wu-ftpd.
    1.11 +While wu-ftpd provides excellent performance and is generally a
    1.12 +good product, it lacks numerous features found in newer Win32 FTP
    1.13 +servers and has a poor security history.
    1.14 +Many people, including the developers who work on ProFTPD, had
    1.15 +spent a great deal of time fixing bugs and hacking features into
    1.16 +wu-ftpd.
    1.17 +Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that a complete redesign
    1.18 +was necessary in order to implement the configurability and
    1.19 +features desired.
    1.20 +
    1.21 +ProFTPD is not a hack based on any other server, it's an independent
    1.22 +source tree from the ground up.
