--port port¶

The TCP port to listen to.

--hostname hostname¶

The hostname or IP address to listen on.

--inet¶

Run in inet mode. By default "aeftpd" runs as a single process in standalone mode. By using this option you can run "aeftp" from "inetd", "xinetd" or similar daemon. Here is a line for /etc/inetd.conf which was tested on Debian Wheezy, and may work for you if your operating system supports PAM and you have Authen::Simple::PAM installed.

 ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd aeftpd --inet --stderr /tmp/aeftp.log --pam login

--stderr path¶

Redirect stderr from the daemon to the file specified by the given path

--chroot¶

Use "chroot" to restrict the user to only his home directory once he has logged in. This option requires the "chroot" function, which is supported by Perl on most UNIX and UNIX like operating systems.

--cred [ user:pass | random ]¶

Allow authentication with the given username and password. If you specify "random" then a randomly generated username and password will be used.

--auth class¶

Specify a Authen::Simple class to use for authentication. You should NOT include the Authen::Simple prefix when specifying the class (that is use "PAM" instead of "Authen::Simple::PAM").

--auth key=val¶

Specify an argument to pass into the chosen Authen::Simple object.

--pam service¶

Use PAM for authentication. This option is simply a shortcut. This:

 % aeftpd --pam login

is the same as

 % aeftpd --auth PAM --auth service=login

--verbose¶

Print all FTP commands and their responses to stderr.

--context context¶

Set the default context. The default is FSRW.

--version¶

Print out the AnyEvent::FTP version to stdout and exit.

--help¶

Display the usage for this command.
