Actually, I've turned off the default (wu-ftpd) FTP daemon because it had some security holes that caused me to get hax0rd by some script kiddies some time ago. I replaced it with VSFTPd which, by all accounts, is supposed to be as bullet-proof as people's passwords. Yeah, that's still a weak point, but it's better than letting anyone with a pre-configured hax0r script break in without even thinking about it.

But since I am running *an* ftpd, I may as well use it!
