chort: I decided to try and use the ftpd program that comes with freebsd.
it is working and I could get proftpd to work now but which would you use?
i've used proftpd a bunch before and it has a ton of killer options to put into the config file that I have found ftpd is quite simplistic in terms of options but its doing the job right now.
Distribution: OpenBSD 4.6, OS X 10.6.2, CentOS 4 & 5

Rep:
I use PureFTPd because it claims to have never had a vulnerability (and I've never seen one posted, either). ProFTPd is well-liked, but I've seen several vulnerabilities for it posted. I don't know about the built-in ftpd that FreeBSD comes with... I never set it up. Another option may be vsTFPd, which also has a good reputation for security.
Honestly, use whatever you're the most comfortable with, as long as you know how to configure it securely.
