Not only is a whole lot easier to get one up and running, it s also much cheaper. Gone are the days of fiddling around in Unix, or more recently WinNT, and spending hours carefully configuring that new server package you just spent hundreds of dollars for. The name may be a bit out there, but the program itself is quite good. Two of the most important areas of concern when dealing with personal FTP servers are security and ease of use.
Ease of use is obviously important but security is even more so.
In many cases the server will be running off of your machine at home so any chance of users getting in the open could be disastrous. G6 features among other things, password protected logins, restrictions to selected areas of the computer, selectable rights based on the individual user account. To further streamline the process you can create different groups and place different people into these pre-made groups. Account management can take place in real time so new users can be added, switched around, etc., with out having to shut down or temporarily interrupt the normal flow of the server. You can additionally schedule external executables and processes to run when conditions are met.
