With the Xitami FTP server? Have you stress-tested it with the loads
you expect?

X's FTP is fine for lightweight duty and is free. My experience
though is that it can lock-up on a hundred files and a hundred megs.
Not every time, in fact maybe twice a year for a small system. But
you'll have more traffic, and bigger traffic, every day than I have
in a year. With remote servers all over the world, that means a lot
of driving to re-boot stuck machines, and a lot of error recovery to
find where the transfer stuck and try again.
