Hi all, I need to add an ftpd to my Debian laptop and wwondered what ppl have used and can recommend and what not maybe to use. Previously I just had put the install scripts put one on for me but now I can see I have quite a few choices. Use is mainly for home machine<-->machine but will be using at at uni where it will be effectively directly connected so security is a concern. (my IRIX box here shows several attemps / week) But also I wont be using virtual hosts or anything fancy (hence dont need proftp). So simpliclity is a plus. Users will be mainly me at uni. Anyone used oftpd, vsftpd or twoftpd.
Package: ftpd Provides: ftp-server Description: FTP server This is the netkit ftp server. It is recommended for you to use one of its alternatives, such as wu-ftpd or proftpd. Task: unix-server Package: ftpd-ssl Maintainer: Christoph Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Provides: ftp-server Description: FTP server with SSL encryption support. This is the netkit ftp server with encryption support ftpd-ssl replaces normal ftpd using SSL authentication and encryption. It interoperates with normal ftp. It checks if the other side is also talking SSL, if not it falls back to normal ftp protocol. Advantages over normal ftp(d): Your passwords and the data you send will not go in cleartext over the line. Nobody can get it with tcpdump or similar tools. Package: lukemftpd Maintainer: Takuo KITAME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Provides: ftp-server, ftpd Description: The enhanced ftp daemon from NetBSD. `lukemftpd' is what many users affectionately call the enhanced ftp server in NetBSD (http://www.netbsd.org).

Package: muddleftpd Maintainer: Joerg Jaspert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Provides: ftp-server Description: A flexible and efficient FTP daemon MuddleFTPd has been designed from the ground up to be efficient, configurable and to be tolerant of being run in root or non-root mode. This server enables users to set up a variety of configurations, from a traditional FTP server using the password file for everything, to using the password file for nothing running entirely as a single user. Package: oftpd Maintainer: Matthew Danish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Provides: ftp-server Description: A secure anonymous FTP server Designed from the ground up to be as secure as an anonymous FTP server can be. It runs as non-root and uses chroot() to hide the rest of the system from the ftp daemon. It is designed to work efficiently with threads.

Package: twoftpd Maintainer: Gerrit Pape <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Description: a simple secure efficient FTP server This is twoftpd, a new FTP server that strives to be secure, simple, and efficient. None of the commands can cause execution of other programs, and the normal model of execution does a chroot to the logged in user's directory immediately after authentication. The name "twoftpd" comes from the fact that there were two parts to the server -- an authenticating front end, which contains no file or data transfer code, and a back end, which contains all the data transfer code. Package: vsftpd Maintainer: Daniel Jacobowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Provides: ftp-server Description: The Very Secure FTP Daemon A lightweight, efficient FTP server written from the ground up with security in mind. vsftpd supports both anonymous and non-anonymous FTP, PAM authentication, bandwidth limiting, and the Linux sendfile() facility. Package: proftpd Maintainer: Ivo Timmermans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Provides: ftp-server Description: Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon A powerful replacement for wu-ftpd, this File Transfer Protocol daemon supports hidden directories, virtual hosts, and per-directory ".ftpaccess" files. It uses a single main configuration file, with a syntax similar to Apache. .
