   I'd begrudgingly say "MS FTP" on the windows platform.   You can enable
disk quotas to limit account space.    Here's some old data-

 I've seen a system with weird NT 4.0 FTP activity on an unauthenticated
FTP connection (with anonymous logins disabled).   After seeing that
system, I switched to WFTPD (Texas Software).  This was OK until there was
a recent exploit that took him several weeks to get a patch out.   That
made me doubt that he has a large enough user base to count on his full
support in the future.

There's Ipswitch WS_FTP server.   This is fine except that in about April
someone published about 5 full system level exploits.   It took them about
6 to 10 weeks to rewrite the security and release the next version upgrade.

  So that leaves MS FTP server which I don't remember as having any recent
exploits.
