recommendations for FTP server



Hello all,

I am thinking about setting up an FTP server to be used by myself and a
couple of friends.  The box it will be running on is basically stock
Woody, and is currently only running apache and NAT'ing for a LAN.

I'd like the FTP server to not allow anonymous logins (which I assume
most can do), chroot users to their home directories, and have some sort
of encrypted connections (over SSL would be nice).  I have thought about
just using sftp, but currently ssh connections are rerouted to another
box on the LAN, and I'd like to leave that set up as is, if possible.

I see that proftpd is the example used in the 'securing Debian' manual,
but it doesn't appear to be able to use SSL.  OTOH, ftpd-ssl doesn't
appear to do chroot'ing, at least not at a quick glance.  Anybody know
of one that combines these features?  I suppose there is always stunnel,
although I have never tried to use it for FTP.

Any recommendations, experiences, thoughts?
