Hello, I've got a 4.9 system and i'm out looking for an ftp server for it as i do not want to use the base server. I've heard good reviews of pure-ftpd, but i'm getting errors: can not find the ftp account and it won't authenticate. I've also tried proftpd, but although i find it capable i don't like it's slow response, even with identd lookups off. Features that i'm looking for, chroot anonymous users to a specific area, enable both anonymous and real users, virtual user and quota support, band width management, and optional secure communications. Most importantly i need it to work with ipfilter/ipnat. Using the base ftp server on a test box i can connect but i keep getting an error, can not build data connection, this is from a box external to the firewall. Thanks. Dave.

Hello..
I would (and do) choose Pure-FTPd since it has a very nice history without alot of security problems. Both proftpd and wu-ftpd has a quite bad security history and I prefer to not use them at all because of that.
Pure-FTPd has support for SSL/TLS, FXP, has native-language support, chroot, allow virtual users, MySQL, Bandwidth limitations, Works perfectly both with or without a firewall, and so on, the list is long.. I've personally used it since the spring of 1999 and I havn't heard of _any_ remote root exploit yet so I consider it the best ftp daemon ever.
