What's the best and easiest FTP server to use in Debian for a small LAN

I was told that wu-ftpd is very old and has a lot of security holes. I used to use it a lot when I had a dedicated broadband connection. Now, I have to use dial-up connection for Internet access. :( Since it is not a 24-7 connection, I am having problems with wu-ftpd connecting because it wants to do domain look ups. I do not want to be online when using it.

Is there a basic and easy to use FTP server to replace wu-ftpd for my Debian box (Kernel 2.6.8 and v3.1 from Sarge installer)? All I need is basic FTP file transfer between computers (PowerBook G4 with MacOS X 10.2.8, PC notebooks and desktops running Windows 98 to XP) on my tiny LAN without it looking up domains. Also, resume capability as well for huge file transfers in case I need to abort and do it later (rarely).

Thank you in advance. -- "I look at an ant and I see myself: a native South African, endowed by nature with a strength much greater than my size so I might cope with the weight of a racism that crushes my spirit." --Miriam Makeba - Please remove ANT if replying by e-mail. ( )
