Without some more hints - I think we'll struggle to help.

Clearly something isn't identical? If it is Debian - liberal use of
"dpkg --get-selections", apt-show-versions, diff, or even "rsync -n"
(yeap rsync is a diff tool at heart).

I really like vsftpd -- if it has enough features for what you need to
do ... chrooting people into their own space is trivial, and there is
little scope for error.

What were the client issues with proftpd, as I found it "just worked"
after about a day creating database tables for quotas and bandwidth
management and integrating the authentication against the same database
etc etc etc.... But then I don't think people would choose wu-ftpd or
proftpd if they just needed a simple FTP solution.
