Security is one thing. Annoying users is another. What good is it to have a super secure system when my users spend hours to download or upload files? I'm pretty sure vsftpd can be configure or patched.

One complaint I have against vsftpd (and most ftp servers) is that they
allow unlimited password cracking attempts. Proftpd can be configured to
limit the attempts per connection. I have set ours to 1 attempt and
protect ftp with the same iptables recent module rules that protect ssh.
As ftp (and sometimes ssh) often have many file transfers in a row, each in
separate connections, I use pam_recent to clean the recent module's list.
On our server proftpd is fast.
