I've had good experiences with Pure-FTPd (pureftpd.org)

"Pure-FTPd is a free (BSD), secure, production-quality and
standard-conformant FTP server based upon Troll-FTPd. It
doesn't provide useless bells and whistles, but focuses on
efficiency and ease of use. It provides simple answers to
common needs, plus unique useful features for personal
users as well as hosting providers."
