I use proftpd (secure using chroot; there are instructions for doing ftp over 
ssh, but they appear cumbersome for the client [I could be wrong about that, 
but it looks like it to me], and eay to configure, especially if you're 
familiar with httpd.conf directives) and scponly.  Works great, and I sleep 
easier at night.
