Ubuntu more directly supports the "The Very Secure FTP Daemon" (vsftpd):

A lightweight, efficient FTP server written from the ground up with
security in mind.

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

There is also ftpd and wu-ftpd.

All are in the Ubuntu's "universe" repo.

I have vsftpd installed on a FreeBSD machine and I
absolutely love it. For some reason, I was thinking that it wasn't in
the repositories.

Tried the above command and got a message stating it's not there. :(
Here's my /etc/apt/sources.list file. Am I missing something? Thanks
in advance.

The package vsftpd is in the Main repo on Feisty and is listed in the "net"
section. If it is not in the US repos, then switch to the European repos;
just remove the "us" in the url in sources.list. For example:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted

becomes:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted

After you edit the sources, you will need run "update"

sudo apt-get update

Description: The Very Secure FTP Daemon
A lightweight, efficient FTP server written from the ground up with
security in mind.
.
vsftpd supports both anonymous and non-anonymous FTP, PAM authentication,
bandwidth limiting, and the Linux sendfile() facility.

You know, sometimes I could just kick myself. When I edited my sources
file and uncommented the correct repository, I forgot to run the 'sudo
apt-get update' command. Once I ran that, the vsftpd install ran like
a charm. Thank you Lee for the assistance. I really appreciate it.
