Dear List,
I would like to install an ftp server. Some of the users want to upload
files to the server. I would not like to start an ftp server at all,
because I'm too paranoid. But my users demand it. I looked at the ports
tree and I found many ftp servers. I cannot choose between them. Can you
recommend one for me? I only need one ftp user (possibly with a
password), and upload/list files only. The most important thing is
security, and the ability to handle passive transfers.
Is there a reason they can't use sftp? You're most likely already running
sshd, which means you already have sftp capabilities builtin. If the issue
is usability, there are a number of gui clients available for all platforms
(WinSCP for Windows, for example) that make the process painless.
