Personally, I prefer PROFTPD (as most people do) over other alternatives, particularly because of its fexible configuration. If you are planning to run anonymous ftp, then proftpd is definitely your choice. If not, you might consider FBSD's ftpd, which is rather good (if you chroot users in their directories/etc). Hope that helps. - -- tmd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
