Yes Mac OS X does have a FTP server, but when enabled all it does is allow
people to login to the home directory of user accounts on the mac. It does
not include permission options, connection options, custom messages, etc
without going through the song and dance of finding the ftp server config
file and editing it, and hey isn't the Mac OS X spirit of things that
everything should be gui? ;) :P Take a look at the feature set of CrushFTP
and you'll see why I'm so interested in it :)
