ASRT: 5/7/05 - BEST FTP SERVER - POST SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!
mouser:
tenseiken, care to go for ftp servers this week?
vegas:
I dare ya!
tenseiken:
Sure. Let's see if we can nominate, say, a top 5 for me to pay particular attention to. Unless I see anything better, BPFTP Server will win, so pick some good ones. I'd like to start working with them as soon as possible, and I won't have to work again until Friday. The first one I'm going to look at is FileZilla Server.
mouser:
cool!
here are the ones i hear the most about:
bulletproof ftpd
blackmoon ftp
gene6
raidenftp
globalscape
serv-u
drftpd (http://wiki.drftpd.org/index.php/Main_Page)
i am ready to help as you need, just ask.
mouser:
it would be helpful if people posted their opinions on best, why, and what features are important to look at.
i've only very rarely set up an ftp server for a family member to log in and grab a file or two,
but the things i look for are:
1) support for secure connections (ssl)
2) ease of use managing users (and i like to be able to easily specify their home directories)
3) easy to see what users are doing, etc.
i gather for serious ftp server users, their are other concerns like being able to set quotas, and various scriping, etc.
