2. possibly not even download .. not so improtant though

And I need to change the port to something else and not 21

1. You didn't ask an actual question.

2. Are you sure the Linux - Networking forum isn't what you want?

So you miss a "?" ?

I assumed when I said I would need something this is some sort of a question ...

Look, I'm not trying to be picky or something. It's just that all you stated is that you need an FTP server with such-and-such configuration. How can anyone possibly help you unless you post specific questions?

Anyway, I'm sure I'm incompetent to help you install and configure a server, I just thought I would help you post a more specific question that has a better chance of getting answered.

I just hoped that someone knows which FTP Server I can use for that ...

And how more specific can I be ? I don't get it ..

never mind anyway ...

No no, I won't nevermind.

Maybe this will help:

The Debian Desktop Survival Guide doesn't make much comment, but they do make a recommendation:

In the replies section of the first article, I noticed this comment:

Quote:

I'd use vsftp if I needed a FTP server. It's small and simple, a modern design, and built with security in mind. There is a nice package in Debian with all the bits in, and it even does TLS out of the box.

If Debian, OpenBSD et al., use it as their official FTP server, then it's probably good enough for me too.

I find that using proftpd and configuring it with Webmin works great.
