What are a list of free ftp servers for a win98 box? I am interested in setting up a media swap server for me and my friends. I currently have Serv-U ftp on a 30 day trial. So what do you think?

Check out War FTP Daemon (http://www.jgaa.com/software/warftpd/) if you want a freeware alternative. Cheers :) dbzgod 02-22-2002, 11:10 PM I heard WAR FTP has a few security glitches that can be fatal. Does anyone know about this?

But that would be illegal, and I didn't say a thing :stickout dbzgod 02-22-2002, 11:21 PM Originally posted by Tazzman Well, you could download a serial generator and...

Sure, if you really like what you are currently using and it satisfies your needs.. Try purchasing a license key for it :D ck 02-23-2002, 12:00 AM Originally posted by DigitalXWeb Sure, if you really like what you are currently using and it satisfies your needs..

Never used it in a live environment, so I'm not sure what it's like in terms of reliability and security, but it's very easy to use - http://www.nitrolic.com/. sjau 02-23-2002, 01:33 AM I've been using War FTP Daemon for some years yet (currently up to 1.80.5) and haven't noticed any security issues. I like most about it: 1.) It's free 2.) User Management is great 3.) Easy to setup yet advanced options available 4.) $user and $date variables (for easy setting of unique upload folders) 5.) many more things... what I don't like 1.) user database can't easily be backed up alone (I recommend making backup of whole War Directory) kmurrey 02-23-2002, 02:18 AM We used the first one mentioned and seemed to work very well. _________________ Keith sjau 02-23-2002, 09:16 AM just found out how users could be added by PHP onto WarFTP Daemon. If you run locally an FTP Server that might be interesting for you! Here's the utilty: ftp://ftp.jgaa.com/pub/products/Windows/WarFtpDaemon/1.7_Series/i386/utilities/ Ok, I just tried it. When I tried first time, I got an error 13 : could not create user. After I have taken a closer look, I saw the problem : when specifying a group, you have to specify /system/Group For instance, you want to create a user named dmartin with password 12345 in group User. You system administration acount has login Sysadmin and password 67890. The command line is : warftpdutil -bp 67890 adduser dmartin group=/system/User password=12345 b option tells the util not to prompt for missing arguments (uses default, i.e. Sysadmin for sysadmin username). p 67890 option specify the password of sysadmin user (67890) adduser to add a user dmartin is the new user's username group=/system/User to add dmartin to the group User password=12345 sets the password for user dmartin All accounts informations are default (i.e. inherited from group User in this case). It is a good thing if you have set the group file access informations with macros : it automates the system pretty well. If you need more help, just tell me : I'll be habby to help you! -Sebastien Thueler He posted that on the newsgroups |
