[olug] ftp servers

[Jeff Hinrichs]

for secure file sharing there is only 1 three letter acronym: scp

If the file sharing is only for you or people with accounts on your system
then I would recommend scp over ftp.  If you need a win client use pscp or
psftp. (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) from the same
people that bring you putty.

If you want to give the world access I would take a look at proftpd.  I
would stay away from wu-ftpd.
