I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and this configuration works (tested with
FileZilla client 3.3.1):

1. Install proftpd-basic 1.3.2c-1ubuntu0.1

2. Install gadmin-proftpd 1:0.3.8-1

3. Launch gadmin-proftpd and configure your settings. Under Secure
communications: Verify clients: must be set to "Off". (FileZilla client
does not support client certificates as a security feature since that is
handled by a Username & Password) Apply your settings.

4. Modify /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf. Paste this line: TLSOptions
AllowClientRenegotiations above the line that says: TLSRenegotiate
required off (Save your changes)

5. Restart gadmin-proftpd and activate the server

Now here are the last two very important details for everything to work
perfectly.

1. If the server ever fails to start you must make sure /var/run/proftpd
exists. For some strange reason it disappears on shutdown (I have no
idea why, Security feature?) Simple fix: run this line in a terminal:
sudo mkdir /var/run/proftpd

2.When connecting with FileZIlla client you must use ftpes:// before the
hostname (the "e" stands for explicit and yes it is still a secure
connection)

Note: You may not be able to connect to yourself using your own local ip
address. So try connecting using:

a. Your dynamic domain name or

b. Another computer on your network or

c. A remote computer
