pid-file
The server requires a place to write the process IDs of the processes it
creates. It creates a small text file with one PID per line,
for your convenience.
If you have a newer operating system, you may have a standard directory
for all of these PID files that NcFTPd and other processes
create, such as the /var/run directory. Otherwise, a good
place to put it is in /etc, or /usr/local/etc/ncftpd.
Examples:
pid-file=/var/run/ncftpd.pid
pid-file=/etc/ncftpd.pid
Recommendation:
pid-file=/var/run/ncftpd.pid
