Sounds like you want PureFTPd .. It's as secure as FTP can possibly be (without using extras like SSL/TSL), and is extremely stable. In fact, its the only popular FTPd that has NEVER had a root exploit. And, it supports privilege seperation. Note that the next major version is supposed to support SSL/TLS, but this might not be released for a while. What you want is a FTPd that supports the basics, without all the extra 'warez' features. It's those extra features that lead to security problems and instability. Anyhow, I would highly recommend you read through this page to make an educated decision yourself: http://www.linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/security/ftp-daemons -- Adam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
