THE SERV-U PROMO MESSAGE
========================

This is Serv-U version 2.0c, a FTP server (or Daemon) for MS-Windows 
and its variants (Win95, NT) that use WinSock for TCP/IP network access.

Serv-U, the all purpose FTP server for WinSock offers the following:
* Lots of security: Passwords, read/write/modify rights per directory or 
  file for each user (including ANONYMOUS), access on the basis of 
  IP-number.
* Multiple simultaneous users and transfers.
* Both in 16- and 32-bit.
* Users can be put into groups for easy maintenance of large numbers.
* Serv-U works well with Mosaic, Netscape, and MS Internet Explorer.
* Access to all drives on your PC, including network drives.
* A quite complete (and strict) implementation of RFC959 and RFC1123, 
  including PASV, also supports the 'resume' command.
* Supports 'links' like those in UNIX.
* Supports multi-homed IP sites, and external user access verification DLLs.
* Configurable greeting messages, for signon, signoff, and login.
* Configurable directory change messages.
* Can run 'invisible' - with no user access to the program.
* Has a 'time-out' feature, so connections are automatically cleared when
  idle or hung.
* Fast! Transfer speeds are close to the maximum possible on your PC.
* Easy to setup and maintain through menus. For automated maintenance the 
  settings are stored in an .INI file of simple format.
* Logs all transactions to file and screen that can be read by other 
  applications. Includes unique session IDs, time, and date stamps. 
* Log file can be read by other applications while open, or transferred 
  through Serv-U.
* A Windows standard: Over 2500 registered users with many for multiple
  copies.
* It is dirt cheap, less than 0.014ct per line of code!


TRY-OUT
=======

The 30 day try-out version comes in two flavors, one of which can be 
chosen during the first start-up: Either a fully functional version that 
contacts a permission server to enforce the 30 days of try-out, or, a 
slightly crippled version that does not contact the permission server.


SERV-U FILES
============

Serv-U comes with the following files:

     SERV-U16.EXE        - The 16-bit FTP-server executable
      - and/or -
     SERV-U32.EXE        - The 32-bit executable for Win95 and NT
     SERV-U.DOC          - The documentation in MS-Word v6 format
     SERV-U.TXT          - The documentation in ASCII format
     README.TXT          - This file
     REGISTER.TXT        - A registration form in ASCII format
     VERSION.TXT         - A list of changes between versions
     FILE_ID.DIZ	 - Information file for bulletin boards 

The file SERV-U.DOC is the manual in a nice looking format. This 
reproduces best using a word processor that can read MS-Word v6 documents,
but if you use Windows 95 you can also use the 'WordPad' program that
comes with it (Although this will loose a bit in the translation).

Installation is easy, but please take a look at the documentation 
before doing so. If you have an earlier version and want to upgrade
then this is also described in the documentation.
