The tarball package is deprecated, and is not available from version 3.8.0 onwards:

  • If you are using a supported OS, use the corresponding RPM or DEB package. See Download and Install sfptpd.
  • If you are using an unsupported OS, you should build from source and do your own packaging to ensure that the install locations and service control mechanisms used are appropriate for the OS.

Running sfptpd as a service requires a UNIT file so the sfptpd service can be managed by systemctl and automatically restarted following server reboot.

Note: sfptpd provides a default systemd UNIT file and default configuration file.
