FTP servers in Windows 2008
Hi,
I need to replace an older version of Serv-U that the current owners no longer support. I've gotten used to the simple interface and would like something relatively simple to manage but certainly don't want to get a package that has known vulnerabilities.
What is your experience with the built-in FTP server Windows offers, vs other packages (free as well as commercial)? Pros/cons?
Thanks much!

Wow. Well I can see why, <sarcasm on> since sftp is such a new RFC. </sarcasm off>
Good to know. Thanks, Richard!
