Linux FTP Server questions

Hello,

I am just learning Linux and am setting up an FTP server for my home use. Should I use the integrated FTP server that comes with most distros? Should I use a different program?

Is there a recommended Linux security setup for the FTP server?

I know nothing. Please educate me.

Thank you.

How many files will you be transferring on a regular basis? How large of files? What types of files?

sftp and scp should also be options depending on the answers. Also, look at samba, you may not have to worry about ftp.
 
Sizes, well, between 600-800 meg files. Regurlarly.

Couple a day I imagine.

Type, all application or zip files. Basically I am transferring large Macromedia Director source code groups for my small group of developing friends.

Thanks
