This is commercial-grade software. TONS of well-done abilities. Awesome FTP and web front end file server. If you don't need all this by all means stop whining and use one of the free or cheap servers. Otherwise, serv-u is undeniably full-featured and great.

It's not free, but you get a lot of bang for your buck!
Also found a chart that does some FTP server price/feature comparison here:

Reviewing 10.5.0.21 (Aug 4, 2011)
Absurdly expensive for an FTP server. I'll stick with Filezilla Server or Pureftpd.
Also, not sure why betanews lists it as "Shareware $49.95", because the cheapest version available (which is missing most of the features) is four times that at $199.95...and that's without the upgrade and support plans.
Reviewing 9.0.0.3 (Oct 9, 2009)
It just keeps getting better!! They have added everything I requested in previous versions. Full UNICODE support, SSH public key auth, DLL integration support, user added events for emailing info to the users, and a ton of other stuff. Just check out the release notes list: http://www.serv-u.com/releasenotes/. Not much out there that comes close in terms of features at this price point. Just take a look at Globalscape and IpSwitch prices for their high end server. Not even close.
AWESOME!!!!
