Dftpd is a FTP daemon (server) with distributed capabilities -- the name Dftpd stands for Distributed File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The general idea behind the distributed features are to enable many servers to be linked together to create the illusion of a single server (see Distributed Features). Starting with version 1.0.4_beta Dftpd also provides the ability to automatically mirror directories. This server is entirely controlled using the FTP command line via the SITE commands (see Dftpd SITE Commands). A subset of the SITE commands, "SITE REMOTE", are used for viewing/administrating distributed server related features. The server is configured using a text configuration file (see Dftpd Configuration).
