CrushFTP server goes UB

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.
