Pure-FTPd vs. ProFTPd

• Pure-FTPd is generally regarded as faster FTP than Pro FTPd, though it will not display stats in the stats menu. Pure-FTPd will be useful in instances where bandwidth usage is less important than file transfer speed.
• Pure-FTPd supports virtual user quotas, whereas ProFTPd does not.
• ProFTPd will display your bandwidth usage, allowing you to monitor the amount of bandwidth your FTP sessions are using. ProFTPd is recommended in instances when monitoring your bandwidth is of the utmost importance; for example, on a limited bandwidth hosting plan.
