I've never heard of pureFTP, but I have definitely heard of ProFTPD.
Check out the Bugtraq archives, it has a history riddled with security
problems, along with WU-FTPD. I believe what's being reccommended now by
a lot of Bugtraq folks is NcFTPD. Running a service that uses plain text
authentication is bad enough, so I would recommend at least going with
one where your box won't get root'd without someone having to sniff the
network. :)

Regards,
Tom
