Proftpd with Mysql backend -command list
This is a quick and dirty proftpd+mysql setup Howto. It lets you setup a ProFTPd server with a MySQL backend so you can manage ftp users on a server from a database.

Now if you add users to the ftpusers table you should be able to login with those credentials without having to do anything else.
Please feel free to contact me if you run into a problem while setting this up.
! Request you to give suggestions as to how we can further improve this application.
