[X-Servers] FTP User Management

[Marcel Hochuli]

We use solely Rumpus for FTP on Mac OS X. We installed about 20 
FTP-Servers so far and all have Rumpus on it. Some have Mac OS X 
Server, some Mac OS X Client. But we never use the FTP-Service built in 
Mac OS X, as it is too tight integrated with the user database which is 
often not desired.

As you own already a license of Rumpus (and you know the product), I 
think your best solution is to use Rumpus too.


Cheers
Marcel
