What is proftpd-mod-wrap

ProFTPD is a powerful modular FTP/SFTP/FTPS server. This File Transfer
Protocol daemon supports also hidden directories, virtual hosts, and
per-directory “.ftpaccess” files. It uses a single main configuration
file, with a syntax similar to Apache.
Because of the advanced design, anonymous-FTP directories can have
an arbitrary internal structure (bin, lib, etc, and special files are
not needed). Advanced features such as multiple password files and
upload/download ratios are also supported.
This module is contained in the contrib/mod_wrap.c file for ProFTPD 1.2+. It
enables the daemon to use the common tcpwrappers access control library while
in standalone mode, and in a very configurable manner.
