Upload Announcement for WFTPD 2.1

WFTPD210.ZIP    Windows FTP server 2.1 for Winsock 1.1



Uploaded by the author.



WFTPD - the all round useful Windows FTP Daemon.



(As used by id Software, makers of Doom, Heretic, Wolfenstein,

and many other great programs.  Also used at many other

institutions - not counting site licences, I have over 1100

registrations)



WFTPD is a Windows program that allows you to set up your

machine as an FTP site.  It runs under Windows 3.1, Windows 95,

and Windows NT, and users consistently inform me that it is the

fastest server available on these platforms.  It is easy to

configure through Windows dialogs, and requires no direct

editing of INI files or of Registry databases.



WFTPD has the following useful features:



o 32-bit and 16-bit versions available, to allow use on all

  Intel x86 Windows platforms

o RFC compliance to 959 & 1123 (in other words, it's a real FTP

  server)

o Support for the majority of documented FTP commands (it

  doesn't support the obscure ones for mail, etc.)

o Multiple logins and simultaneous transfers allowed

o Works with Mosaic / NetScape / Cello

o Runs (as tested by real users) over most Winsock compliant

  drivers

o Site can be made read-only, or read-only to anonymous users,

  at the click of a button.

o User-configurable time-out on hung/idle connections.

o Secured access by means of password authentication, address-

  based host authentication, and the ability to restrict users

  to named subtrees of your directory structure

o Further security by means of user rights which may be set

  easily on any directories in your system - including those

  that don't yet exist

o Remote access to ALL drives on your system is possible

o Windows friendly - does not flash cursors while it is

  transferring, or hold up processing

o Can run 'invisible' - with no user access to the program

o Logs logins, anonymous logins, gets, puts, commands, warnings

  - what's logged is configurable

o Logs to file that can be read by other applications, including

  session number, time and date stamp.  This information is also

  logged to the screen.  Other Windows applications can read

  this log while it is open, and it can be transferred through

  WFTPD.

o Most strings can be edited in the resource information - for

  customisation, or translation

o Small - around 230K

o Status bar display of count of users, and number of sockets in

  use

o Cute little icon



In addition, for the low price of $15 ($20 for the 32-bit

version), you get these features:



o Easily configurable greeting - the unregistered one tells

  people that you can't afford $15

o As many transfers per login as required - only 5 are allowed

  in the unregistered version before you have to re-login.

  (Directory listings don't count towards this 5)  (And only 15

  PASV transfers are allowed before having to restart the server

  in the unregistered version)

o Greater say in future features

o Peace of mind - can you sleep at nights knowing that your $15

  may be the only thing standing between me and an overdraft/

  green card/new computer?
