Just about any distro will do. I use Mandriva with proftpd for mine, and I also support ssh tunneling. The real issue is traffic, and the *real* real issue is what kind of ISP service you have. The real bottleneck will likely not be your box if you are serving from home. FTP is not cpu-intensive, and I just use an old laptop I own that has a broken screen. It's fast enough to serve at DSL speeds.
