We went with the commercial Tectia SSH server from SSH Communications
because we needed chroot functionality and the stubborn openssh
developers don't seem to want to implement that.

RHEL 4 includes vsftp 2.0.1.5. You can go to RHN, search for the

on RHEL 3.

The definitive source for FTP TLS/SSL:

For FTP services, we're using ProFTPd but the best tls/ssl support is in
a release candidate which we haven't rolled out into production yet.
