Great post on how to setup proftpd with security.

Only down side is the normal Ubuntu apt repository has proftd 1.3.1 which has a TLS/SSL bug that allows uploading, but doesn’t give a directory listing.

So, my solution was to add the debian sid repo

and then do:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install proftpd-dev

This installed proftpd 1.3.2a which as of today is the stable release. TSL/SSL works as expected.
