i setup and used ncftpd at my last job. it is by far the best ftp daemon i
have ever run. it is fast. it is secure. it supports non-system accounts,
so you can very easily setup 1000 ftp accounts without ever adding those
users to your system /etc/passwd.
it comes with a quickly hacked together CGI front end for managment that while
isn't exactly user friendly for the non-computer geek, it is very easy to
hack it up to make it friendly. having trouble? email the author and you
will get immediate email back with a solution.
it's not free, and it's worth every penny.
sorry to rant like that, but ncftpd is software done right, and that is becoming
increasingly rare these days, so i like to promote it.
