ProFTPD module mod_copy


The mod_copy module implements a SITE COPY command, 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_tar can be found at:
