I sure like proftpd. doing a search at rootshell, it has less than 1/4 of the
number of exploits listed than wu-ftpd, which is another popular one. It's
released under the GPL with a few pieces under a BSD license. If you're gonna
learn a bunch about it, it has some kinda modular interface to where you can
write extensions to it, and have special code that runs for certain directories.
proftpd runs on just about any un*x you can think of.
it's at http://www.proftpd.net/
Theres also wu-ftpd, and some others, but I like proftpd.
have fun
