Used both ProFTPd and VSFTPd. Pro is nice for large hosting
environments where you might set up multiple virtual hosts / users, and
has a log of features aimed at that environment. VSFTPd isn't as
flexible in that regard, but is straight forward to manage and aims to
be secure as their primary goal; for what it's worth I generally stick
with VSFTPd these days because I don't need the features Pro provides.
