Features

Complete FTP Account Management

Create, delete, list, and configure FTP accounts per website — with package-level limits, password management, and directory controls.

Account Creation

Create FTP accounts tied to any website. Usernames are auto-prefixed, passwords are SHA-512 hashed, and package limits are enforced.

  • Auto-prefixed usernames
  • SHA-512 crypt password hashing
  • Package-level account limits
  • Random password generator

TLS Encryption

Every Pure-FTPd installation is configured with TLS support and a self-signed certificate. All file transfers can be encrypted.

  • TLS 1.x for data + control
  • Auto-generated SSL certificate
  • Passive port range 40110-40210
  • Optional — clients choose TLS

Directory Chroot

Every FTP user is jailed to their home directory. Path traversal is blocked, symlinks are rejected, and MinUID prevents system user logins.

  • ChrootEveryone enabled
  • Path traversal (..) blocked
  • Symlink rejection
  • MinUID 1000 enforcement

Password Management

Change any FTP account password from the list view with one click. Built-in 16-character random password generator included.

  • Inline password change
  • 16-char random generator
  • Admin or owner can change
  • MD5 or SHA-512 auto-detect

Service Control & Logs

Enable or disable Pure-FTPd from the panel. View the last 50 lines of FTP logs with refresh and clear controls.

  • Enable/disable Pure-FTPd
  • Live log viewer (last 50 lines)
  • CLF-format access logging
  • Full config reset option

Cloud API Access

All FTP operations are available via the CyberPanel Cloud API — create, list, delete, change passwords, and check status programmatically.

  • Create accounts via API
  • List and delete via API
  • Change passwords remotely
  • Check Pure-FTPd status
Under the Hood

Pure-FTPd with MySQL Authentication

CyberPanel uses Pure-FTPd with a MySQL backend — no system users needed, no passwd file management, no manual config.

MySQL Auth Backend

FTP credentials are stored in MySQL and queried by Pure-FTPd on every login — no system users, no PAM, no flat files. Add or remove accounts instantly via the database.

Chroot + Anti-Warez

Every user is chrooted to their directory. AntiWarez mode prevents anonymous uploads. Directory auto-creation ensures accounts work immediately.

Full Reset Capability

Admin can fully reinstall Pure-FTPd — purge, reinstall, regenerate TLS cert, restore MySQL auth config, and update password hashing. Async with terminal progress.

Plugin Hook System

Pre/post signals fire on create, delete, and password change operations — allowing third-party plugins to extend FTP functionality.
