If you look at the [tt]man[/tt] page for [tt]in.ftpd[/tt], it has detailed step by step instructions on setting up anonymous FTP on your server. There's even a shell script on the [tt]man[/tt] page that sets it all up, including proper security.

The crusty old in.ftpd is pretty long in the tooth.

It doesn't support:

restart
or
chroot
or
passive mode that works
or
a myriad of other options.

I've used wu-ftpd, but we are going to, (by our security team) vsftpd.
