Hello.

Can sombody tell me what the best FTP server is for linux? Please dont say proftpd... They do not have the features I need. (User directories)
I would like one with diskspace limitations, but is not required.

Thanks.

ProFTPD is my favorite :) Although, if I HAD to use something else it would be PureFTPD.

Use sftp.

FTP is insecure - passwords are transmitted in clear text and that's why sftp is better.

ftp is still choice in matter of transfer speed cause "no encryption is no friction".


still, if you need a freehost supporting SFTP you are welcome to check out http://hostingperson.googlepages.com

hehe haven't heard that saying in a while but it is true :) normal FTP also carries a small less load than sftp.

From what I read vsFTPd has a much less load, then again cPabnel doesnt know what the heck it is. I use pureftpd

ProFTPd has security, memory leak, and reliability problems up the
wazoo and it is not recommended that any host use ProFTPd!

PureFTP is definitely a much better way to go!
