ProFTPD is a ftp server primarily written for the various
unix variants though it will now compile under win32. It has been
designed to be much like Apache in concept taking many of the ideas
(configuration format, modular design, etc) from it.

“Why would you want to use ProFTPD?

  1. ProFTPD provides a very secure ftp daemon that is easily
    configured and highly customizable.
  2. ProFTPD supports multiple virtual servers, anonymous FTP, per
    directory configuration, and more.”
