My argument for proftpd or pure-ftpd is their capability to use FTP with TLS. I dislike the idea to send authentification data in plain text format over the net (LAN or WAN). And using ckermit as a client makes it really easy to use the encryption. I created a file with a speaking name, let's say "my.ftp.server", and following content: SET FTP AUTHTYPE TLS SET AUTHENTICATION TLS VERIFY OFF FTP my.ftpserver.tld /user:myusername /password:verysecret and running then "kermit my.ftp.server" leads to: Connected to my.ftpserver.tld. TLS accepted as authentication type [TLS - DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 Compression: None FTP Command channel is Private (encrypted) FTP Data channel is Private (encrypted) User myusername logged in. Remote system type is UNIX. Default transfer mode is BINARY From there on you can use the normal FTP commands.
