Need to install an ftp server -- which one?

[MGP]

I have a small Linux webserver box and a fulltime SDSL connection. All the ISP DNS is setup to point www and ftp traffic to my static IP addy. The webserver is up and running fine now for a week or two.

I need to install an ftp server for maintaining my websites and also for occasional ftp up/downloads from the outside world (all other services are shutdown, trying to keep things reasonably secure).

Which ftp server should I use? I have tried ProFTP in the past, I thought it was not too bad. I am also looking at NCftp. I like the idea of virtual user accounts for security reasons. wu-ftp is not even a consideration -- got my box rooted a while back because I forgot and left it running. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/redface.gif

I'd like something easy to setup, maintain and that's pretty secure. I don't think I'll be needing anonymous ftp at all.

Any recommendations based on your experiences?

TIA

proftpd, is there any other server ?
free fast stable, next to no known exploits in it.

I have to second Sweede's advice.. My experience is that proftpd is the "best of the best of the best, sir".

Although I'm a newbie, and probably have no clue what I'm talking about, I third that. ProFTPD has served me well.
