	If one wants a very minimalistic ftp server, then a choice can
	be DJB's publicfile (see http://cr.yp.to/publicfile.html). It
	only accepts anonymous transfers, isn't free and uses a
	different listing format than what is usual (so, not all
	clients work correctly with it), but it is made to be secure.

	publicfile is also a webserver.

	OTOH, does anybody know about a more full-featured server that
	can monitor which connections are open and show statistics
	about them (for instance, what are the transfer rates for each
	connection)? I'd love to know about an ftp server that has
	this particular feature.


	Thanks in advance for any comments, Roger...
