OK, I'm no expert on what else you could use, but I'd like to throw in my two cents worth if I may!

I use RH8 and have used the FTP server without problems. There may be a problem with the slackware version, or there may be a problem in your config, I really couldn't say for sure. FTP isn't that complex a protocol so there isn't much to go wrong, but if you want to try something different, you could do worse that taking a look at http://war.jgaa.com/ftp/

I've used his FTP solutions under windows for several years and found them to be solid and dependable. I haven't tried the Linux version as yet, but I do know that Jarle Aase has a very good reputation and his work has been commended by several freeware and shareware sites, and more than a few reputable PC & computer magazines.

Hope that helps! :)
