Cooker's default ftpd is BeroFTPD, and I bet the choice was made because Kberoftp was supposed to make the setting up & administration of the ftp daemon easier However, beroftpd is IMHO still very difficult to configure, not what I would call "user friendly" or "targetted at the newbies". For instance I still haven't found how to create an user account on the ftp without creating an user on the whole system. Glftpd is really easier to use, and comes with a FAQ and a documentation that anyone can understand. Adding an user to the ftp is as simple as logging to the ftp and typing: site adduser <name> Moreover, I have not heard of any exploit affecting glftpd so far. And I'm not the only one who likes glftpd better than beroftpd since Linuxberg gave it 5 stars when beroftpd only had 3 :) http://alpha1.linuxberg.com/conhtml/ser_ftp.html The main url is http://www.glftpd.org , but it seems to be down today, so here's the freshmeat appindex http://freshmeat.net/appindex/1999/01/15/916446705.html
