Another vote for vsftpd:
http://vsftpd.beasts.org/
Trivial to setup/configure, very secure.
In addition to all of the normal security features that vsftpd offers,
we turn on the pasv_min_port/pasv_max_port options to restrict the
download ports, it's a nice feature.
(I attended an Apache/FTP security lecture in the Bay Area a couple of
years ago (2002/2003) at one of the local user groups there -- the
speaker was "testing" out his talk on us before he gave it at some
Usenix/SAGE conference. The ftp portion was a howto on securing wu-ftpd,
but before he started, he said point blank that if you didn't need
anonymous uploads, to just use vsftpd.)
