Upload Announcement for WFTPD 2.0

WFTPD200.ZIP    Windows FTP daemon 2.00 for Winsock 1.1

Uploaded by the author (ideally).

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 700 registrations)

WFTPD has the following useful features:

o RFC compliance to 959 & 1123
o Support for the majority of 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 - even over remote links!
o Runs (tested) over most Winsock drivers (some people have reported
  occasional problems, but this is usually fixed by updating to the 
  current version of the winsock driver)
o Site can be made read-only, or read-only to anonymous users
o User-configurable time-out on hung/idle connections.
o Fast - I get 120-500K per second on average over 8 bit ethernet
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 Does not make unexpected Internet transmissions of secret messages
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 No documentation has been plagiarised from any other program
o Easy configuration of user/password lists, security features, logging to
  file.  All features adjustable through menus - no need to edit clumsy INI
  files.
o Logs logins, anonymous logins, gets, puts, commands - 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 language translation
o Small - around 200K
o Over 700 registrations received - many for site licences.
o Microsoft 3D controls are used
o Tested on Windows '95
o Status bar display of count of users, and number of sockets in use
o Context sensitive help included on all dialogs
o Cute little icon


In addition, for the low price of $15, you get these features:

o Easily configurable greeting - the unregistered one tells people that
  you haven't registered
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?
