I'm embarrassed to say that I just now noticed that PureFTPd Manager, a Mac OS X package that allows you to install and work with a great FTP server, was updated last fall to work with Leopard. The software, which is donationware, lets you use PureFTPd, a high-quality FTP server with an enormous number of configuration options. PureFTPd Manager gives you a control-panel-like interface to set each of these many options. If you're planning on setting up any Mac as an FTP server, I cannot recommend Leopard's built-in FTP server due to its limitations. PureFTPd I recommend wholeheartedly.
