How to find Pure-FTPd version

Question

I have installed Pure-FTPd on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS?

Which command will give the version of the server running?

Is it displayed when you connect to the ftp server that is running? — pl1nk, Jun 20 '12 at 23:18

The following command gives you the installed version, if you installed the package via the ubuntu repository

apt-cache policy pure-ftpd

After a bit of research, this does seem to be the best way to see what version is installed. pure-ftpd doesn't have an easy way to get the version. – tgm4883 Jun 20 '12 at 16:25

@jasminesIs Is this command dispalys versions installed in the system or the versions available on the repository? – Mithun Sreedharan Jun 21 '12 at 05:20
Installed one, as you asked. – jasmines Jun 21 '12 at 06:59
