- mfukar 16y agoI've heard vsftpd [1] is quite good. I certainly wouldn't expect them to be running anything other than ProFTPD, of course, but being aware of alternatives somewhat helps, no? [1] http://vsftpd.beasts.org/ http://vsftpd.beasts.org/
- nailer 16y agoIndeed. When all the Linux distros kicked out WUFTPd from being the default FTP server in the early 2000s due to security concerns, nearly every one evaluated ProFTPd and VSFTPd against each other, and VSFTPd came out on top.
- kahawe 16y agoI never really liked ProFTPd, it always seemed too huge and bloated. My favorite has always been Pure-FTPd - it really has some neat features and is very easy to setup and so far very reliable for me.
