WFTPD1_8.ZIP    Windows FTP daemon 1.8 for Winsock 1.1

Uploaded by the author.

WFTPD - the all round useful Windows FTP(*) Daemon(**).


WFTPD has the following useful features:

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 Runs over most winsock drivers (some people have reported occasional
  problems with PC-NFS winsock, but this doesn't appear to be limited
  to WFTPD)

o Fast - with an option to make it go even faster (at the expense of
  your other Windows applications) - I get 120-200K per second on
  average over 8 bit ethernet

o Secured access by means of password authentication, and the ability
  to restrict users to named subtrees of your directory structure

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 (unless greedy option is enabled)

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

o Easy configuration of user/password lists, security features, logging
  to file

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.  File may be read while
  transfers are proceeding (new feature).

o Small - 140K

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 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)

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 a residency visa?


New features in this version:

o Time stamp entries in the log file
o 'greedy' option - greedy takes about 15% off transfer times.
o Add a 'hide' command-line option 'h' - but you can't kill it without
  exciting windows.
o "CWD D:" works
o Trailing '/' stripped from directory listings
o MKDIR, RMDIR commands added, along with CDUP
o Context insensitive nonhelp removed, along with the useless toolbar
o Added keystrokes to all menu commands

(*) FTP is the Internet standard File Transfer Protocol.

(**) A Daemon, also referred to as a server, is a program which will
run in the background carrying out certain tasks while the main work
of the processor carries on in the foreground.
