+.SH NAME
+opieftpd \- File Transfer Protocol server that uses OPIE authentication
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B opieftpd
+[\-d] [\-l] [\-t
+.I timeout
+] [\-T
+.I maxtimeout
+]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I opieftpd
+is the Internet File Transfer Protocol server process. The server uses the
+TCP protocol and listens at the port specified in the ftp service
+specification; see
+.IR services (5).
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-d
+Debugging information is written to the system logs.
+.TP
+.B \-l
+Each
+.IR ftp (1)
+session is logged in the system logs.
+.TP
+.B \-t
+The inactivity timeout period is set to
+.I timeout
+seconds (the default is 15 minutes).
+.TP
+.B \-T
+A client may also request a different timeout period;
+the maximum period allowed may be set to
+.I maxtimeout
+seconds with the
+.B \-T
+option. The default limit is 2 hours.
+.SH COMMANDS
+The ftp server currently supports the following ftp
+requests; case is not distinguished:
+.PP
+.nf
+.ta \w'Request 'u
+Request Description
+ABOR abort previous command
+ACCT specify account (ignored)
+ALLO allocate storage (vacuously)
+APPE append to a file
+CDUP change to parent of current working directory
+CWD change working directory
+DELE delete a file
+HELP give help information
+LIST give a list of files in a directory
+MKD make a directory
+MDTM show last modification time of file
+MODE specify data transfer mode
+NLST give name list of files in directory
+NOOP do nothing
+PASS specify password
+PASV prepare for server-to-server transfer
+PORT specify data connection port
+PWD print the current working directory
+QUIT terminate session
+REST restart incomplete transfer
+RETR retrieve a file
+RMD remove a directory
+RNFR specify rename-from file name
+RNTO specify rename-to file name
+SITE non-standard commands (see next section)
+SIZE return size of file
+STAT return status of server
+STOR store a file
+STOU store a file with a unique name
+STRU specify data transfer structure
+SYST show operating system type of server system
+TYPE specify data transfer type
+USER specify user name
+XCUP change to parent of current working directory (deprecated)
+XCWD change working directory (deprecated)
+XMKD make a directory (deprecated)
+XPWD print the current working directory (deprecated)
+XRMD remove a directory (deprecated)
+.fi
+
+The following non-standard or UNIX-specific commands are supported
+by the SITE request:
+.PP
+.nf
+.ta \w'Request 'u
+Request Description
+UMASK change umask (e.g. SITE UMASK 002)
+IDLE set idle-timer (e.g. SITE IDLE 60)
+CHMOD change mode of a file (e.g. SITE CHMOD 755 file)
+HELP give help information (e.g. SITE HELP)
+.fi
+.sp
+The remaining ftp requests specified in Internet RFC-959 are
+recognized, but not implemented.
+.sp
+MDTM and SIZE are not specified in RFC-959, but will appear
+in the next updated FTP RFC.
+
+The ftp server will abort an active file transfer only when the
+ABOR command is preceded by a Telnet "Interrupt Process" (IP)
+signal and a Telnet "Synch" signal in the command Telnet stream,
+as described in Internet RFC-959.
+If a STAT command is received during a data transfer, preceded by
+a Telnet IP and Synch, transfer status will be returned.
+.I opieftpd
+interprets file names according to the globbing conventions used by
+.IR csh (1).
+This allows users to utilize the metacharacters
+\&*?[]{}~.
+.sp
+.I opieftpd
+authenticates users according to three rules:
+.sp
+The user name must be in the password data base,
+.I /etc/passwd,
+and not have a null password. In this case, a password
+must be provided by the client before any file operations
+may be performed.
+.sp
+The user name must not appear in the file
+.I /etc/ftpusers.
+.sp
+The user must have a standard shell returned by
+.IR getusershell (3).
+.sp
+If the user name is
+.I anonymous
+or
+.I ftp,
+an anonymous ftp account must be present in the password
+file (user
+.I ftp ).
+In this case, the user is allowed to log in by specifying any
+password (by convention, this is given as the client host's name).
+
+In the last case,
+.I opieftpd
+takes special measures to restrict the client's access privileges.
+The server performs a
+.IR chroot (2)
+command to the home directory of the
+.I ftp
+user.
+In order that system security is not breached, it is recommended
+that the
+.I ftp
+subtree be constructed with care; the following
+rules are recommended:
+.sp
+.TP
+.B ~ftp
+Make the home directory owned by
+.I ftp
+and unwritable by anyone.
+.TP
+.B ~ftp/bin
+Make this directory owned by the super-user and unwritable by
+anyone. The program
+.IR ls (1)
+must be present to support the LIST command. This
+program should have mode 111.
+.TP
+.B ~ftp/etc
+Make this directory owned by the super-user and unwritable by
+anyone. The files
+.IR passwd (5)
+and
+.IR group (5)
+must be present for the
+.IR ls (1)
+command to be able to produce owner names rather than numbers.
+The password field in
+.I passwd
+is not used, and should not contain real encrypted passwords.
+These files should be mode 444.
+.TP
+.B ~ftp/pub
+Make this directory mode 777 and owned by
+.I ftp.
+Users should then place files which are to be accessible via the
+anonymous account in this directory.

+
+.SH BUGS
+The anonymous account is inherently dangerous and should
+avoided when possible. In
+.I opieftpd,
+it is a compile-time option that should be disabled if it is not
+being used.
+The server must run as the super-user
+to create sockets with privileged port numbers. It maintains
+an effective user id of the logged in user, reverting to
+the super-user only when binding addresses to sockets. The
+possible security holes have been scrutinized, but are possibly incomplete.
+
+.SH HISTORY
+The
+.I ftpd
+command appeared in 4.2BSD.
+
+.SH AUTHOR
+Originally written for BSD,
+.I ftpd
+was modified at NRL by Randall Atkinson, Dan McDonald, and Craig Metz to
+support OTP authentication.
