It's as secure as FTP can possibly be (without using extras like SSL/TSL), and is extremely stable. In fact, its the only popular FTPd that has NEVER had a root exploit. And, it supports privilege seperation. Note that the next major version is supposed to support SSL/TLS, but this might not be released for a while. What you want is a FTPd that supports the basics, without all the extra 'warez' features. It's those extra features that lead to security problems and instability. Anyhow, I would highly recommend you read through this page to make an educated decision yourself: http://www.linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/security/ftp-daemons --=20 Adam --=-94I3/uR+1C1Bapc5tKt1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/BMPsWxHCbev227wRAhvwAJ9DywgnWJG5STvZKJFNK6MqaQq4/gCdGU4U eqagEkc/ARwYa+JqfmxEj0w= =4WCS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-94I3/uR+1C1Bapc5tKt1--
