I've been very satisfied with pure-ftpd, though I largely just use it for
personal purposes. (It's in /ports/ftp.)
It may fall a bit short on configurability for what it sounds like you want
to do. AFAIK, only one group can have trusted access. The best thing you
could probably do is to have a trusted access group and chroot the users (by
pure-ftpd command-line options), then the users would be allowed priviledged
access, while being confined to their home directory. I think if you got
creative with null mounts, you could manage access to different resources
from within their home directory. (I'm not going to say too much about that,
though, because I don't really know.)
I've tested it with explorer, netscape, and konqueror; I've never run into a
problem.
I'm unaware of any speed issues with large files.
Peace,
Clayton
