The FtpServer project is somewhat dormant but the code base is
reasonably solid. The way I see it, the major value FtpServer adds is
being embeddable and offering a flexible API for integrating it, like
switching out the file system or integrating with some custom
authentication. If you're looking for a more regular FTP server,
serving files from a normal file system, I'd go with something else,
FileZilla being a good option.

Salvador,

The Apache Ftpserver is pretty robust and stable. Have been using it for 
sometime. Its easily embedded and can tweak the way you want it which includes 
the Authentication module and the FileSystemView. It works great with the 
normal file system as well as with the VFS.

Cheers,
Sam
