I want to instal a "secure" ftp server

[Leslie Jensen]

I need to have ftp access to a machine. I've found pure-ftpd but it was 
last updated 2007/02/03. I'm aware that it can function very well 
despite that, but I would like the lists suggestion on what to choose to 
make ftp access as secure as possible. It will be mainly windows clients 
accessing the ftp server. I have SAMBA running, but I need a solution 
for access from the Internet.
