With respect, Master Jedi :), I beg to differ.
Lists like this provide a wealth of information to the novice. I have
often asked questions just like this one about ftpd. And the answers have
helped me along a great deal!
Trolling, in mailing list terms, is a different thing altogether. And I
really don't think that was this questioner's intent. And none of the
answers above looks like a response to a troll. They look to me like
answers from people offering advice to the questioner.

This is 100% true. But a nudge in the right direction to start trying
can't do any harm, can it?
When someone starts saying things like xxxftpd is a piece of cr@p, and you
absolutely MUST USE yyyftpd - that's when the rest of us should all shout
in unison : GET OFF THIS LIST!!!
Just my 2c...
May the force be with you!
