Re: wu-ftpd vs proftpd vs ftpd



id avoid proftpd until they re write the thing, too many bugs in it's
core, unless security isn't a main concern.  wuftpd has similar problems
but most of them have been fixed and i've seen no reports of flawed code
like proftpd has.  i use normal ftpd (port from openBSD) i think i use
v20 (compiled from source) not very customizable commpared to the
competition but i want a ftpd i can run and forget about, and this is
it.(anonymous works)
