Setting up FTP services on your Mac can be as simple as checking the "FTP" box in Sharing Preferences, if you don't care about anonymous acce or maintaining a user list separate from your regular accounts. It can be as full-featured as ru ing Rumpus or Mac OS X Server (both over $200), or as free as PureFTPd Manager (with an excellent walkthrough at MacDevCenter). Seems like there's an open middle of the market, no?Now, the venerable CrushFTP has been revised to version 4.0; it offers a midrange, Universal Binary (and cro -platform Mac/Win/Linux) FTP server priced per co ection ($30 for 10 concurrent users). Crush offers a fairly sophisticated co ole and Web management UI; both SFTP and WebDAV services along with FTP (great for rolling your own .mac replacement); granular bandwidth, user/group, and time window control automatic compre io and resumable downloads. If you're not interested in the nitty-gritty of PureFTPd config or the high cost of the pro solutio , the new Crush might be worth a look.
