Local FTP

[John W]

  I am wanting to setup an FTP server on my box to transfer files between 
myself and a few friends as my provider "Cableamerica" finds it neccesary to 
block Gnutella clients wether they be windows or Linux based. I have never 
really setup FTP services on Linux before and would like some opinions in 
regards to ease of configuration and general setup issues, perhaps a 
preffered server? I have Mandrake 8.1 installed and I know it has ProFTPd and 
perhaps one or two other FTP servers available on the CD's. I plan to set the 
accounts with authorization and not use any anonymous logins to try and offer 
as much security as possible.

 TIA,

John Wheat
