ProFTPD module mod

ProFTPD module `mod_copy`

The mod_copy module implements SITE CPFR and SITE CPTO commands (analogous to RNFR and RNTO), which can be used to copy files/directories from one place to another on the server without having to transfer the data to the client and back.

This module is contained in the mod_copy.c file for ProFTPD 1.3.x, and is not compiled by default. Installation instructions are discussed here.

The most current version of mod_copy can be found at:

SITE CPFR

This SITE command specifies the source file/directory to use for copying from one place to another directly on the server.

The syntax for SITE CPFR is:

  SITE CPFR source-path

SITE CPTO

This SITE command specifies the destination file/directory to use for copying from one place to another directly on the server.

The syntax for SITE CPTO is:

  SITE CPTO destination-path

A client wishing to copy a file/directory first sends a SITE CPFR command, then a SITE CPTO; this is similar to how renames are handled using RNFR and RNTO.

Use of these SITE command can be controlled via <Limit> sections, e.g.:

  <Limit SITE_COPY>
    AllowUser alex
    DenyAll
  </Limit>

Installation
To install mod_copy, copy the mod_copy.c file into:
  proftpd-dir/contrib/

after unpacking the latest proftpd-1.3.x source code.  For including
mod_copy as a staticly linked module:
  ./configure --with-modules=mod_copy

To build mod_copy as a DSO module:
  ./configure --enable-dso --with-shared=mod_copy

Then follow the usual steps:
  make
  make install



For those with an existing ProFTPD installation, you can use the
prxs tool to add mod_copy, as a DSO module, to
your existing server:
  # prxs -c -i -d mod_copy.c
