RE: The better ftp server for Debian...

2000-12-18 Thread Jason Holland
i use proftpd, its pretty sweet.  the config file syntax is a lot like
apache config files.  its stable, good performance, and more secure that
wu-ftpd i think.  just my personal $0.02.  later

 Hi,

 Could you recommend the best ftp server for my Linux-Debian box?

 Thanks,

I like NcFTPd a lot.  Used it for a while now.

I'll second that any day. NcFTPd is fast, reliable and free to use for 3
(or was it 4) concurrent users.

I think 3, and only in a non-commercial situation.  I have it on our
servers here at work and payed the $50 license for I think 50 users.
I use WAY less than that.  The config for NcFTPd makes it more than
worth it, especially when the company pays. ;-)

If one wants a very minimalistic ftp server, then a choice can
be DJB's publicfile (see http://cr.yp.to/publicfile.html). It
only accepts anonymous transfers, isn't free and uses a
different listing format than what is usual (so, not all
clients work correctly with it), but it is made to be secure.

publicfile is also a webserver.

OTOH, does anybody know about a more full-featured server that
can monitor which connections are open and show statistics
about them (for instance, what are the transfer rates for each
connection)? I'd love to know about an ftp server that has
this particular feature.


Thanks in advance for any comments, Roger...
