As the title says. This is for a school project and I need to set up a FTP server to pass. But I don't know which one to use, and if you can link me any guides I would be very thankful for your help.
Thanks in advance.
CentOS, based on redhat, server / enterprise oriented.
CentOS. My workplace (which actually hosts several major websites) uses CentOS.
CentOS or Debian
Seems like all of you recommended CentOS, so I'll go with that. And thanks for your help.
Debian is extremely stable. If you tweak it so you only enter runlevel 3, you'll have a FTP server.
If you want something really easy to setup I would use FreeNAS.
FTP is terrible, use SFTP or SCP.
Command line debian.
Also, as Pvt said, FTP is terrible.
Debian CLI with ftpd.
But since it is for school I think you could just install Debian with user interface and ftpd.

Can't tell, never tried it. Ftpd was installing editing a few lines and it was ready for basic use.
Why not SSH?

[B]S[/B]ecure [B]Sh[/B]ell. You can't transfer files. No reason he can' also install openssh though.
