You might find your solutions with it As much as I've been tempted to recommend pure-ftpd in the course of reading this thread, I've restrained from doing so for one reason: despite the fact that it does support TLS-encrypted connections, very few *clients* support that. You can have the most encrypted FTP server on the planet, but it won't do you one mite of good if your clients can't talk to the server.
