It's our own one, and has been in FreeBSD since the project stated: revision 1.1.1.1 date: 1994/05/27 12:39:16; author: rgrimes; state: Exp; lines: +0 -0 BSD 4.4 Lite Libexec Sources It's been enhanced majorly since then however, and for most use it's quite adequate. On my anon ftp server however I'm currently using ncftpd to handle a larger number of connections efficiently. I don't know what ftpd is running on ftp.freebsd.org however.
