Hi,
Well, I would definitely recommand it !
It's so powerful , flexible and secure what do you need more ?
Did you ever had a security issue related to ProFTPD ? Which version do
you use ? Did you checked the fix for the latest security issues ?
Last one was fixed in 2 seconds by adding a DenyFilter \*.*/
Of course there are some minor bugs , but which piece of software don't
?
We're using it since over almost 2 years without any problems.
