	ProFTPd's a nice ftp server.  Good configurability and features.  If
you run it, be sure to keep current on updates -- proftpd has seen quite a
few buffer overflows since its release, and ftpds are very common points of
attack.

	Also keep in mind that it's almost never desirable to use ftp for
nonanonymous access -- use scp/rsync for such cases.
