VSFTPD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual VSFTPD(8)NAME
vsftpd -- Very Secure FTP Daemon
SYNOPSIS
vsftpd [configuration file and / or options]
DESCRIPTION
vsftpd is the Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The server can be launched via a ``super-server'' such as inetd(8) or xinetd(8).
Alternatively, vsftpd can be launched in standalone mode, in which case vsftpd itself will listen on the network. This latter mode is easier
to use, and recommended. It is activated by setting listen=YES in /etc/vsftpd.conf. Direct execution of the vsftpd binary will then launch
the FTP service ready for immediate client connections.
OPTIONS
An optional configuration file or files may be given on the command line. These files must be owned as root if running as root. Any command
line option not starting with a "-" character is treated as a config file that will be loaded. Note that config files are loaded in the
strict order that they are encountered on the command line. If no config files are specified, the default configuration file of
/etc/vsftpd.conf will be loaded, after all other command line options are processed.
Supported options are:
-v Print the version information and exit, even if other options are encountered.
-ooption=value
Set a single option, value pair as per the format in the config file. Multiple -o options are supported, and they are applied in
strict order relative to their appearance on the command line, including intermingling with loading of config files.
EXAMPLES
vsftpd -olisten=NO /etc/vsftpd.conf -oftpd_banner=blah
That example overrides vsftpd's built-in default for the "listen" option to be NO, but then loads /etc/vsftpd.conf which may override that
setting. Finally, the "ftpd_banner" setting is set to "blah", which overrides any default vsftpd setting and any identical setting that was
in the config file.
FILES
/etc/vsftpd.conf

diod(8) diod diod(8)NAME
diod - distributed I/O daemon
SYNOPSIS
diod [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
diod is the distributed I/O daemon server, which implements I/O forwarding on Linux clusters.
Configuration is read from the diod.conf (5) config file. Some configuration can be overridden on the command line, as described below.
OPTIONS -f, --foreground
Do not change working directory to /var/run, drop the controlling terminal, or run in the background. Send logs to stderr not sys-
log, unless sent somewhere else by -L.
-r, --rfdno INT
-w, --wfdno INT
Serve a connected client inherited on the specified read and write file descriptors. For file descriptors connected bidirection-
ally, the two options may be set to the same value.
-l, --listen address
Set the listen address. The address may be in the form of HOST:PORT, IP:PORT, or /path/to/unix_domain_socket form (default
0.0.0.0:564). This option may be specified more than once. It overrides the listen config file setting.
-t, --nwthreads INT
Set the number of worker threads to spawn to handle 9P operations for each unique aname. This option overrides the nwthreads set-
ting in diod.conf (5). The default is 16.
-e, --export PATH
Set the file system to be exported. This option may be specified more than once. It overrides the exports setting in diod.conf
(5).
-E, --export-all
Export everything in the server's /proc/mounts.
-o, --export-opts OPT[,OPT,...]
Set global export options. This option overrides the exportopts setting in diod.conf (5).
-n, --no-auth
This option allows users to attach without security credentials. It overrides the auth_required setting in diod.conf (5).
-N, --no-userdb
This option disables password/group lookups. It allows any uid to attach and assumes gid=uid, and supplementary groups contain only
the primary gid. It overrides the userdb setting in diod.conf (5).
-S, --allsquash
Remap all users to the squash user. The attaching user need not be present in the server's password file. This option overrides
the allsquash setting in diod.conf (5).
-U, --squashuser
Set the squash user. The default is nobody. This option overrides the squashuser setting in diod.conf (5). Note: if diod is not
run as root, the effective uid overrides the squashuser.
-u, --runas-uid UID
Run the server as UID and only allow that user to attach. If invoked as root, diod sets real and effective uid, gid, and supplemen-
tary groups to those belonging to UID.
-L, --logdest DEST
Set the destination for logging. Possible destinations are syslog:facility:level, stderr, stdout, or a file name. This option
overrides the logdest setting in diod.conf (5).
-d, --debug MASK
Set the debug mask. The bit values are:
0x01 - log decoded 9P protocol messages
-c, --config-file PATH
Set config file path.
