There are several options, depending on your needs. Remember, the better
the security, the worse the configurability/features.
1. Publicfile
It's read-only, anonymous-only. Extremely secure. No features or
configurability whatsoever. Period.

2. vsftpd
Can be configured for uploads (so it's read-write). Can be configured
for non-anonymous users. Very simple, so no complex setups with fancy
rules on the directories.

It's also the FTP server of choice in Linux Red Hat 9.
3. PureFTPd
More complex than vsftpd. Allows complex authentication schemes. Can do
chroot on users, quota, bandwidth throttling.

Beyond that, there are many other options (WU-FTPD, ProFTPD) but i don't
have a good feeling (security-wise) about them, even though i used to
use them a lot in the past.
