so uh, i REALLY need some advice. the webserver was up and running, and withstanding between 30 and 40 attacks per hour (thanks to sygate personal pro). my php coder and i decided to set up a two way ftp server so he could update the page from his house. i thought it was a bad idea from the get go, on a new server for the first server i've ever run, and it turned out i was right. someone compromised the ftp, the logs were cleared, the entire website was deleted, and the apache server won't run anymore. we've already upgraded to apache 2.0.49 from 1.3.29, and i was just wondering what is a good ftp server, and if there is a better firewall/webserver that could be used. the best security measure would be to switch to linux and run iptables, but my friend has no linux experience. we were running wftp, btw, and are thinking about switching to bullet ftp. please, any advice would be REALLY appreciated
