RE: nix based ftp server suggestions

["Murda Mcloud" <murdamcloud () bigpond com>]

Thanks to all for great suggestions.
I am playing with vsftpd right now. Took literally two minutes to get
running, once I'd worked out the selinux issues.

When I mean easy to manage, I need an ftp server so that some of our users
can upload download large files to collaborate with people not in our
company. So I wanted to know if there is a way to generate passwords/access
by non tech users(ie marketing needs to give Graphics Co. X access to upload
download).
I guess this may need some scripting or perhaps there is some kind of front
end that is easy to use.

I suppose I want it to be secure so that randoms can't upload/download
anything and I will have to work out the directory structure/perms so that
it is logical and easy to navigate.

Try vsftpd (sorry I don't know exactly what you mean by "easy to manage", so
try it or look screenshots and see if it is enough easy).
