"locate ftpd" would answer your question, BTW, but yes: besides the stock ftpd, there is also lukemftpd and tftpd. Other good choices from the ports collection would be proftpd and pureftpd. > I ask because FBSD comes with 2 built in firewall applications.

A Kerberized version of the FTP which uses encryption is probably also available as part of the system, but it is not likely that Kerberos is applicable to your situation. However, using scp or sftp is another reasonable option, especially if you want users to authenticate: plain old FTP is best used for anonymous-only cases. -- -Chuck
