The software is a free and open source FTP server for Mac operating systems, allowing users to easily transfer files over the internet.
The software offers two ways to use it: with or without a user file. If you need a server with multiple users, a user file can be used to store the user accounts. To use a user file, you need to specify the "-f" option in the command line. If you need help, you can use the "-hf" option. On the other hand, if you want to specify a user on the command line, you can use the -U, -P, -H, and -R options. These options have defaults and can be omitted if desired. If you run the software without any arguments, it will start an anonymous FTP server on port 21.
IndiFTPD also supports SSL connections, and you can enable it by specifying the "-e" option. You can also use the "-i" option to specify a second listening port for implicit SSL connections. If you enable SSL, there will be a slight delay while the server generates a certificate and keys for the SSL connections. Currently, IndiFTPD doesn't allow the user to specify any of the certificate parameters.
Overall, IndiFTPD is an excellent software that is incredibly easy to use and ideal for users who want to start a server quickly. Since it doesn't require any configuration files, it is perfect for users who don't have permission to install or configure a server. With its SSL support, it also provides a secure and reliable FTP server that users can trust.
