I'm curious what you're replacing it with? I was fiddling with proftpd
for a while, before there were multiple security alerts within a
month, maybe a year ago.  I imagine it's improved a bit.  A lot of the
FTP sites I see are running wu-ftpd.

It looks like a number of the other servers available are based on
wu-ftpd, for example, beroftpd.

As far as security goes, the Linux port of OpenBSD's ftp server sounds
good. I haven't personally used it, but I've heard good things about
the security of OpenBSD's software.
