Initial Summary: OK, which secure ftpd do you like, Proftp, wu-ftp, ncftp or other

well,

         I've gotten a lot of responses and I have not had a chance to try 
them all.  I've initially gone with vcftp.  After downloading it and gcc to 
compile it, I got it installed and configured in around 15 minutes.  the 
only problem I'm having with it is I can't seem to make it to blind ftp 
(disable ls) without code changes.  However, the ls command is built in so 
I could just change the code not to do those calls.

         Below is the start of a real summary that I will post later.

         Thanks,

         Paul

ps - I did need to go into the code to change a couple of responses that 
seem inappriate on a production server.
