I don't dispute that for a second. But that isn't the only reason
why I decided to use Rumpus, rather than the OSX in-built
server. For instance, using Rumpus, it is possible to have multiple
users all with different access levels to different
folders. Upload/Download ratios, temporary accounts, access to
designated areas via HTML with a customised template or
templates. Remote administration if required. Secure SSL
encryption. Lots of reasons like that. I do see your point, and
yes, maybe one day I'll play around in the area of scripting.

Not to disagree here, and feel free to ignore this message entirely,
but I'd imagine you can reproduce your ftp's behavior of sending
emails simply by attaching finder actions to incoming directories.
Someone drops a file in the incoming directory, and an email could
automatically be generated to let the administrator know a new file
has arrived. You could script all sorts of things based on contents
that shows in logs with a combination of grep, and apple scripts.
Now, can the built-in ftp server do these things? Yes it can. Can it
do it out of the box? No, it can't. However, it *could* be made to
do these things, and that my friends is the power of OSX.
