Comments on Setting Up ProFTPd + TLS On Ubuntu 12.10

Setting Up ProFTPd + TLS On Ubuntu 12.10 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 set up ProFTPd with TLS on an Ubuntu 12.10 server.

Thank you for this short how-to! :). Now, my 2 cents. *ahem* 3 cents:
 
1. It's better to use FTPES rathar than FTPS (Explicit > Implicit)

2. It's better to use SFTP rather than any FTP* protocol (where possible)

3. I'd strongly recommend using

TLSProtocol 	SSLv3 TLSv1
