According to this review on SoftSailor, ProFTPD was developed to provide a secure and configurable FTP server, and also out of a admiration for the Apache web server. A free version of ProFTPD 1.3.3a is available for download.
"There are currently a very limited number of FTP servers running on Unix (or Unix-like) hosts. The most commonly used server is wu-ftpd. While wu-ftpd provides excellent performance and is generally a good product, it lacks numerous features found in newer Win32 FTP servers and has a poor security history.
"Many people, including the developers who work on ProFTPD, have spent a great deal of time fixing bugs and hacking features into wu-ftpd. Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that a complete redesign was necessary in order to implement the configurability and features desired."
