bftpd program is a small, easy-to-configure FTP server. It strives to be fast, secure and quick to install/configure.
Main features:
- Easy configuration
- Speed
- Support for most RFC FTP commands
- tar.gz on-the-fly compression/archiving
- Security with chroot without special setup
- No need for files (sh, ls...) in a chroot environment
- Logging to wtmp and to a logfile or syslog
- PAM and passwd/shadow support
- Support for SITE CHOWN/CHMOD
Running the server:
bftpd runs in either standalone or inetd mode.
If you want inetd mode
Add the following to your /etc/inetd.conf:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/bftpd bftpd
Give inetd a HUP or reboot your system. Your FTP server should work now.
If you want inetd mode with xinetd
Add the following to your /etc/xinetd.conf:
service ftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/bftpd
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
nice = 10
}

hftp is an extended FTP client supporting standard FTP client scripts and interactive use.

Although initially sparked by limitations in Microsofts FTP client implementation, it is multi-platform and battle-tested in real-world daily use.

fuseftp is a userspace FTP filesystem for FUSE.
Installation:
perl Makefile.PL
make
sudo make install
If any of the preregs fail, you can install the missing modules using the cpan shell which is started with "cpan" or "cpan -MCPAN -e shell".
Usage:
marcus@hal2000:~: mkdir kernel
marcus@hal2000:~: fuseftp kernel/ ftp.kernel.org &
Successfully logged into ftp.kernel.org

marcus@hal2000:~: cd kernel/

marcus@hal2000:~/kernel: cd ..
marcus@hal2000:~: fusermount -u kernel/
[1]+ Done fuseftp kernel/ ftp.kernel.org
Enhancements:
- A --port option was added to specify a non-standard FTP port.
- The handling of file names containing special characters was fixed.
- The cache timeout option was also fixed.

oftpd provides yet another anonymous FTP server.
oftpd is designed to be as secure as an anonymous FTP server can possibly be.
It runs as non-root for most of the time, and uses the Unix chroot() command to hide most of the systems directories from external users--they cannot change into them even if the server is totally compromised.
It also contains its own directory-change and directory-listing code (most FTP servers execute the system "ls" command to list files).
Enhancements:
- Philippe Oechslin discovered a DoS vulnerability. - Fixed

moftpd project is a powerful ftp server supporting IPv6, SQL, TLS and much more.
Main features:
RFC compiance
moftpd is a very RFC compliant server. supporting all standard commands and all protocols except SKIPJACK-KEA encryption. Included standards are IPv6, TLS encryption and verification, UTF-8, internationalisation and more.
Powerful authentication
moftpd includes powerful control over authenticating users. In addition to the system users you can specify any number of users in the configuration file, and put permissions on directories and files on a per user bases (or group of users).
You can let users connect to different servers based on the client ip address, and a compliant client can choose server upon connect if theres several available.
moftpd can also authenticate users based on the certificate they present when encrypting the connection. This is useful as you can restrict an account to only be allowed with a specific private key.
There is also support for SQL (currently MySQL only) for specifying users and directory permissions.
Strong permission system
As mentioned above, file and directory permissions can be specified individually for each user and directory. You can choose between a real or faked chroot, and if using the latter, allow specific symlinks out of the chroot to access other directories.
You can also put restrictions on critical files, which must be encrypted and/or signed during the transfer. File and directory permissions can also be fetched from SQL.
Internationalisation
moftpd is fully compliant with the specification of running FTP in different languages. So far, only Swedish is implemented, but more is easy to add.
moftpd always run in UTF-8 as per the RFC, but has functions for converting file names and commands in different encodings to UTF-8.
Good documentaion
An easy to navigate html documentation is included and is also available here on the homepage. For those that prefer text documents that is also available and the HTML code for the options are actually generated from an included XML source.

ftpsync provides a tool for synchronizing directories over FTP.

ftpsync is a tool that allows updates to be incrementally and recursively made to remote FTP servers. It examines time stamps and sizes, and is designed to operate in a manner similar to rsync.

ftpsync implements the missing recursive PUT FTP command.
