So what's a good server then? Something with a nice GUI and easy to configure preferably. Something akin to Bulletproof ftp server would be nice. I have looked at GLFTPD which looks like you need a rocket science degree to configure it.
If you're just looking for a personal ftp server, for occasional file sharing, then http://www.mycgiserver.com/~ranab/ftp/ will perhaps do it? It's GUI based If you want to set up a more serious ftp server, then vsftpd or proftpd will be good choices. proftpd it looks like you'll have to compile yourself, but you can configure it very easily with webmin once it's installed. vsftpd is the choice where security is concerned, although because security comes first, it has less features than other servers. No GUI that I know of, but the config file is very easy to read and configure
