I need to implement a FTP server for exchange of large files with vendors. I was going to use VSFTP, but wanted to solicit opinions.
The requirements:
- Support both secure and anonymous connections, and can partition (hide) info based on user ID.
No non-anonymous FTP connection will ever be secure if you don't add encryption and proper authentication to the mix. For instance, there is a Kerberos-enabled FTP server which supports encryption for the data channel, and can authenticate users using a Kerberos ticket: it's distributed in the krb5-server package.
I was thinking of replacing FTP with a SFTP server, but the next requirement invalidates it.
-Works with browsers for the uninitiated -Can be Fedora or commercial Red Hat. -supports auto-passive, or passive FTP by default.
