WuFTPD is a piece of crap. ProFTPD is not. Having stated my position I will
now back it up =)
WuFTPD and ProFTPD have in past suffered some of the same security problems,
HOWEVER ProFTPD has suffered many fewer, due in large part to a much
cleaner/saner code base as mentioned and in general better auditing. ProFTPD
is "newer", it has less backwards cruft.
WuFTPD is a royal pain to configure for anything beyond a simple anon site.
ProFTPD is insanely easy to configure using an Apache style configuration
file. With ProFTPD I can make my upload directory thus:
<Directory /home/ftp/uploads>
AllowOverwrite off
<LIMIT WRITE>
AllowAll
</LIMIT>
<LIMIT READ>
DenyAll
</LIMIT>
</Directory>
It doesn`t MATTER what the actuall directory permissions are, when you ftp
in you CANNOT execute any READ commands (GET, etc) from that directory and
any subdirs. You cannot overwrite any files either, even if the file perms
were to allow it. I can set up an uploads directory where all files uploaded
are owned by say.... ftpgroup:seifried, and another uplaods dir so the files
are owned by otherftp:joeuser, without having to worry about sticky bits or
file perms.
ProFTPD can run in inetd mode or stand alone. This is nice because you can
nuke inetd off the system (unless you need something like pop or imap), less
things can go wrong.
Proftpd can throttle bandwidth easily (it`s in the config file, whooot).
Many major sites use proftpd, such as sourceforge.net, debian.org. Red Hat
used to use it but switched to NcFTPD (non free, the server costs, the
NcFTPD client is free) for performance reasons.
Proftpd is fast. Proftpd is insanely flexible. Proftpd is stupidly easy to
configure securely for COMPLICATED settings (like multiple seperate upload
dirs, something wuftpd faisl miserably for).

og jeg kan kun sige, at jeg er enig...
om man kan ændre proftpd's logging og hvordan skal jeg ikke kunne svare på... måske kan du finde hlælp i dokumentationen på
