Ah Yes, VSFTPD. The fastest FTP server I ever saw in my life, and god dammit, the most secure as David Aluded to in the passed. I'm never going back. If you do for whatever reason need a ProFTPD-Style feature set, my second choice in an FTPD is Pure-FTPD, www.pureftpd.org I used it for a time when VSFTPD was out of comission for something I did. Most definitely, VSFTPD first, Pure-FTPD second, ProFTPD/WuFTPD...Avoid at all costs. That especially holds true for WuFTPD.

It is also a much better FTP server, with an outstanding security record. I have used proftpd in the past, but when I discovered vsftpd, I could never go back! Just a comment... David B.
