[WBEL-users] Re: vsftpd (other options for ftp server)

[Cesar Lagarrigue]

Hello :

I use in the past vsftpd, but are ok!, but the poor logs and the option of 
tsl (SSL) force me to use other ftp quality server... i find these 
pure-ftpd /and have nice module of webmin.../ this license is bsd

"Pure-FTPd is a free (BSD), secure, production-quality and 
standard-conformant FTP server based upon Troll-FTPd. It doesn't provide 
useless bells and whistles, but focuses on efficiency and ease of use. It 
provides simple answers to common needs, plus unique useful features for 
personal users as well as hosting providers."
