Quick question - we have just bought an all in one printer that does scan to ftp. What is the smallest and lightest ftp server I could install on one of our desktops for it to scan to?
Its behind a router of course, so (maybe wrongly) I'm not expecting security to be a worry. But maybe this is too hopeful?
Thanks for the feedback on proxy servers by the way. Its was not for anything that needs to withstand official investigation, just for privacy from the prying.

My current ftp server of choice (when hand is forced and you can't go "NO NO NO NO NO BAD BAD BAD BAD ARGH"), would be vsftpd. It's small, light and secure (well, as far as a FTP server ever is).
Cheers,

We use vsftpd, so I'll second that recommendation. It's easy to set-up, and just plain works...
Cheers, Laurie.

I like ProFTPd. Its chrooting feature is very useful.
vsftpd chroots by default...
Cheers, Laurie.
