sorry not SFTP, I meant just ssl - SFTP is a SSH server subsystem, I
guess thats out of scope for the apache FTP project.
Also what's the stability and scalability like, compared to say proftpd?

Whats the status on out of the box SFTP - is it 100%? assuming clients
can only upload, is it acceptable for that?
It should be 100% for all operations (e.g. upload, download, list).
Please tell me if that's not true because that's a bug then :-)
We should also support both explicit and implicit SSL (as instructed by
the client with AUTH or by having an SSL socket to start with) as well
as security of the data channel (via PROT).
When it comes to performance and scalability I'm not sure. Since protftp
has been around for so long and got so much usage, while we haven't
(as far as I know) spent so much time on performance, my bet would be on
protftp for now.
As just discussed on this list, I'm looking into moving us onto MINA.
MINA seems to have great performance numbers so I'm hoping that should
help us a long way.
Do you have any specific numbers in mind as for performance and
scalability? Might be worth testing with our perf-test module.
