<p>cPanel offer two FTP servers to choose with.  <a href="http://www.pureftpd.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PureFTP</a> and <a href="http://www.proftpd.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ProFTP</a> &#8211; the default one is pure FTP.  If you want to make a change, you can do this from <em>WHM  Main &gt;&gt; Service Configuration &gt;&gt; FTP Server Selection.</em></p>
<p><span id="more-2098"></span></p>
<p><strong>Pure-FTPd</strong> is generally regarded as faster FTP than Pro FTPd, though it will not display stats in the stats menu. Pure-FTPd will be useful in instances where bandwidth usage is less important than file transfer speed. Pure-FTPd supports virtual user quotas, whereas ProFTPd does not.  PureFTPd is very much secure then ProFTP. Licensed under the BSD license, PureFTPd can be installed in any Linux Based system but not Windows.</p>
<p>For a cPanel based server the advantages of Pure FTP are :</p>
<ul>
<li>Faster login time;</li>
<li>Uses less memory;</li>
<li>Allows virtual access on any IP address;</li>
<li>Better security model;</li>
<li>Allows virtual user quotas;</li>
<li>More compatible with software RAID systems;</li>
<li>cPHulk support for brute force protection.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a href="https://acpaneltech.com/how-to-setup-an-ftp-server-using-pureftp/">You can view this article to see how to set up a standalone Pure FTP server </a></h3>
<p><strong>ProFTPd</strong> will display your bandwidth usage, allowing you to monitor the amount of bandwidth your FTP sessions are using. ProFTPd is recommended in instances when monitoring your bandwidth is of the utmost importance; for example, on a limited bandwidth hosting plan. ProFTPd is a modular FTP server which very much used. Most of the control panels support this one. There is a lot of features available in ProFTP, while a very less is being used in a cPanel perspective.  It is also using the GPL for licensing. The configuration of ProFTPd is simple, and example configuration files can be found easily over the net.</p>
<ul>
<li>Allows use of .ftpaccess files for per-directory access controls;</li>
<li>Supports TCPwrappers based access controls;</li>
<li>Highly configurable.</li>
</ul>
<p>You have to select which FTP server fits in best for you.</p>
