So its in the basket to consider now.
Someone mentioned it had security issues previously, and just like any product that is released they all have a past. However the security issue I remember it having, was found and fixed within days. As other have also suggested we have a wide choice of other suitable ftpd's, personally I've found proftpd to be simple, and yet if you must vi the proftpd.conf, its not that difficult to understand. However I believe recently, debconf can be used to manage/maintain the proftpd.conf and you get a prompt at install time if you want to do this. I think I might take a look at someones suggestion just recently of vsftpd was it. Sounds interesting.
