Because of the line of work my company is in, they mainly use FTP to allow clients access to files that have been created.

Currently our FTP server is an old G4 mac running OS 9.1 and a piece of FTP software which cost a few 100 $ at the time. This has now started to fall over on a regular basis and is a pain to administer, so the company has decided it wants a new solution.

Does anyone have any experience with any FTP solutions or appliances that they can pass onto me? An initial search of the interwebs hasn't netted me many appliances and most software seems to be for windows and I'm not sure how a windows FTP server would hold up.

Criteria are mainly that it works well with macs accessing it and that its easy to create new users and home folders.

Thanks for the help
 
We have a website but its hosted by another company. The FTP server needs to be an internal one because of the quantity and size of files that are put on it.

I was looking at FileZilla, but I really wasn't sure whether or not it would be able to handle a lot of simultaneous connections.
 
I'll have a look at PureFTP I think next then.

I tried ServU and the interface was way to over-complicated for what it needs to be. All I want is a nice explorer style interface thats quick and easy to browse through.

So far the best one I've tried is TitanFTP, which seems to be able to do what we need, but is a bit pricey.
 
I think the software we use is going to have to be Windows or Linux based, rather than OS X. We don't really have any macs spare and the normal intel hardware we have lying around can easily be upgraded and expanded for this solution.
