How to Install MySql on ProFTPD
If you want to share files over the Internet and maintain logs in the process, you can use ProFTPD with MySQL. ProFTPD, an FTP server application, features a much larger selection of configurable options than the inbuilt FTP server. If you have a MySQL database set up and want to install the MySQL module on the ProFTPD server, you do so during set up. MySQL is a Web-based database for storing data. The MySQL module will integrate the ProFTPD setup with the MySQL setup, providing the potential for logs and other analysis in the future. This assumes you have already downloaded and expanded ProFTPD, waiting to install.
