How To Configure PureFTPd To Accept TLS Sessions On Debian Linux. FTP is a very insecure protocol because all passwords and all data are transferred in clear text. By using TLS, the whole communication can be encrypted, thus making FTP much more secure. This article explains how to configure PureFTPd to accept TLS sessions on a Debian server.

Nobody should be using FTP for authenticated transfers any more. Use SFTP (part of SSH) instead. Works over a single port (22), so there’s much less messing about to set it up.
As for unauthenticated transfers, those are most easily done over HTTP.
I don't really agree with this, but if it is your opinion... why not.
FTP using TLS is a good alternative, even more given that it provides better throuput of gigabits networks than ssh. But, yes, SSH is a damn great tool!
Dude, i guess you have no experiance settign up sftp, sftp requires much more work, each user must be in passwd file and have special perms and then also modding sshd config too. On a hosting company its way more risky and more time consuming than using tls with ftp.. makes much more sense... Just think what you would need to do if you had 500 users with sftp access!
Simple, it just works..
Thank you.
