Popular on Windows maybe... most people here don't use windows... Profftpd has to be compiled? no it doesn't, you can get rpm's for suse no problem, and even if it did... why is that a bad thing?

Mmm... Amidst your rudeness, you still manage to be quite helpful. Thank you for the tip. I confused profftpd for another program that had to be compiled. And compiling is a bad thing for me because I've only been able to get it to work in just a couple of the distros I've tried. I just recently learned that it's probably because I didn't have a compiler installed. Newbie error. I didn't realize you had to know a little about how programming works just to install a program.
I know this is a very old thread but I came across it looking for the same thing.
I have dicovered pure-ftpd.
It has a mysql back end that is simular to the serv-U ini file.
You can set username, passwords and directory.
I just heard via Serv-U's mailing list that they actually have developed a Linux build of Serv-U, and it's up for public beta at serv-u.com/beta. It's pretty neat, from what I can tell they're still using the same engine and core, just porting some bare-minimum OS-specific stuff. It's free to run for the beta period, so if anyone here's still looking this, go give it a look! I ran it on Fedora 14 but they claim to have tested it successfully on Ubuntu 10.10, Linux Mint, Amazon's EC2 base image, and some others.
I am happy to confirm that the Serv-U FTP server became available for Linux in version 11. It doesn't use yum or apt (yet) but uses its own installer, detailed here: http://www.serv-u.com/linux_install_instructions
