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. > The great thing in free software is that you are _free_ to > choose the software you want. Try anything, if it feets your > needs, stick with it. 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...
