Yes, I believe that's one David Greenman modified for WC's use.  I may be
wrong, but I believe that explains the 'DG' (thought I read it somewhere).

A cursory review of the respective man pages will show some immediate
differences.  I've ran both, but it was a /long/ time ago when I played
with ProFTP, so I can't really make current comments.

I think a couple quick searches, along with some reading time (features,
past exploits, etc.) to understand what 'features' you get from each and
how much risk has historically been associated with each will provide the
best answer to your question.

Later,
