[Tfug] FTP Server

[Ryan Quinn]

Hi All,  new to the list here. 
Redhat comes with proftpd.. not sure if it installed by default.  Fedora 
comes with vsftpd as the default FTP server.  I personally have had a 
lot of luck with PureFTPD.  It is easy to configure but also has some 
extra authentication options available like auth by SQL if you choose to 
use them.
