PureFTPd is very good (I use it here for the exact purpose above), plus it has been written with security in mind. There are deb's for it but they are VERY OLD. I floated the question of someone maintaining new packages for it and someone said they would be happy too. Unfortunatly I haven't heard anymore of it, I'm happily using the old packages still as there aren't any holes that I'm aware of in it :-) Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
