ProFTP is light weight compare to wu-ftpd.  It's also more secure. 
(The main reason we changed from wu-ftpd to ProFTP.  However 
uploading performance might dpened on system configuration.

iTools 6.5 list all users on the same page and the nested table might 
take a long time to render.  iTools 7 displays only one user per 
page.  Therefore, it is very fast, but it also generate more clicks 
for changing existing users.  The reduced rendering time should makke 
the software more usable.

Unfortunately, FTP users are still depending on Apple's NetInfo database.

If you have a load balancer, then it's possible to host the same 
contents on multiple webserver via NFS, and iTools 7 will serve the 
pages as usual.

Disk Quotas management is part of iTools 7.1.
