I very much do NOT recommend war ftp. 

Why? 

- the code is closed source and written by ONE person not a company.

- Because the author is a self reported cracker, dissonant, and political
hotspot. 

Other than that, it works just great, as far as I could tell when my company
made me use it anyway.
