An ftp server can be serving a truckload of files, but that doesn't exactly tax the system or OS, all you're doing is running a lot of identical processes and pushing data though the NIC. Our web servers, while not in cdrom.com's class, pump out 800,000 to 1,000,000 files a day but spend most of their time in idle. The comment about "real" servers is, however, totally goofy.
