Favourite FTP daemon


The only one I've tried so far is proFTPd. Are there any better ones out there? Which do you use?

I'm thinking of using proFTP because I'm us vsftpd but I want to be able to put more restrictions on users

Disk Usage Limitations, Read and Write privilages.

I'm looking for suggestions.

Use proftpd myself, for my very limited ftp server needs...

So how would I restrict the users to a certain
(1)directory and
(2)limit their amount of disk usage
with vsftpd.

(1) the man page has all the directives, see: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html

In particular have a look at anon_root and local_root

(2) AFAIK this cannot be done with vsftpd but rather is dependant on using the kernels 'quota' feature, which requires the user have a valid shell on the ftp server. Also this may only work with ext2/3 filesystem, but I may be wrong.
