Or you have a look at the vsftpd, which was recommended by Kurt Seifried. I think his judgement could be trusted, I dont know it, have never read about it. Morsal Roudbay wrote:
Thanks for your opinion Gerd. I was actually also thinking that Wu-FTPd would have many security holes considering it's dark history. I personally use ProFTPd and I read it's supposed to be one of the most secure.

but I cannot believe that you really recommend using wuftpd, have a look at

IMHO wuftpd is the ftp daemon with the most security holes in it's long history. Personally I would not use it on a new install, I'd prefer Proftpd (which is also deliverd with Suse Linux).

Which FTP daemon for Linux is currently the one with least security

wuftpd-2.4.2, which is installed as /usr/sbin/wu.ftpd in the SuSE wuftpd.rpm package. After Thomas' audit a long while ago, it hasn't had any security related problem any more.
