I want to run my debian machine as a FTP server & I am not sure what guys recommend as an easy server software for Debian.

Can someone please let me know what they recommend I use?

I want to be able to upload and download files from my Debian machine via work or off site.

Thanks!

Start out with vsftpd.

http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/vsftpd

Is this something I would be able to install via APT-GET or do you recommend a manual install via the link you provided?

apt-get install vsftpd will work just fine. The config for it will be at /etc/vsftpd.conf

The conf file has a lot of comments that will make configuring the FTP server fairly simple. If you need any help with it, just google for vsftpd and you'll get a lot of results.

And I agree that vsftpd is the best FTP server!
