Can’t you just tick the box to enable the FTP feature of the Mac OSX  and then 
setup groups / users to gather that information you require?

Or possibly the OSX server will do the same, it’s 25 dollars I think from the 
app store. It just takes some configuration.

Subject: Re: How do I turn a mac into a full fledged ftp server?

Thanks,  $40 might be in budget.  I want to creat groups, monitor uploads, and 
some other tasks.  I'll check this $40 package and see if it flies.

Thanks,

There is a full FTP server built into OSX because of its unix underpinnings. 
Not sure what you need to do that the ftp server can't. Note that robust does 
not mean simple/easy. You can google around for tutorials but they basically 
have you use terminal to run:
sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
which fires it up and sets it to load on bootup. To stop just change load to 
unload in the same command. They you should be able to ftp to your mac using 
yourname@yourmachine_address

Another path is to just upgrade to OSX Server. While it's pretty much the same 
things as regular OSX under the hood, they provide tools to configure all that 
goodness and I'm told you can just upgrade over top of the regular OSX. Apple 
charges $20 for OSX server.

There is also CrushFTP but that's also $40:

Hi,  Is there any solution equivalent to filezilla server for mac OS?  I know 
that the mac has a simple file server built in, but I'm looking for something 
more robust.

Thanks,
