Sorry, bad choice of words!  I don't need matching servers.  I want  
the new server to replace the 2 old ones I have setup aleady (one is  
an FTP server, the other is an sftp server).

Also, I should not install an FTP client or a ssh client if these are  
installed already, right?  Do I have to install a particular server  
due to the clients that are already installed?

Last, but not least, can I run multiple services on one box?  For  
example,  can I run vsftpd and openssh-server on the same PC?
