WFTPD Description

WFTPD is the popular FTP server for Windows,a flexible and easy-to-use program. WFTPD is a compatible, usable, modern and fast FTP server. WFTPD has settled into providing entry-level FTP server capabilities. Add to this an author acknowledged as an expert in FTP and TCP/IP, and full-time support through telephone, fax and email, and you can't go wrong. Main features: SL/TLS support (Transport Layer Security is the updated, standards-based version of Netscape's Secure Sockets Layer specification) - command sessions and file transfers may be encrypted, and the server is securely identified to connecting clients by means of a certificate. Per-server choice between Windows user database and independent user database - either provide protected, name-based access to the server, without having to provide that name with access to the rest of your Windows system, or choose to allow your existing Windows users to logon with their usual names and passwords, allowing NTFS permissions and quotas to restrict them in addition to the protections already provided by WFTPD Pro. Resume capability - the WFTPD engine is the first FTP server for Windows to correctly resume both uploads and downloads. Multiple virtual server support - run several FTP sites on ONE Windows NT machine. Each server has access to its own unique user database, and may further be restricted to its own area of your hard drive space. IP filtering - deny or allow access to each virtual server based on the IP address of the FTP client requesting an incoming connection. Site security features - including randomisation of PASV ports, and the firewall-friendly restriction of port assignments to an administrator-defined range. Active involvement in standards development - the WFTPD development team is actively involved in both the Winsock and FTP Extensions mailing lists, and will continue to contribute to new developments in the FTP and Winsock standards, as well as adopt those standards early (where appropriate). We also make sure to provide strict compliance with existing standards - both documented, and de-facto. File conversions - for example, users can (at the administrator's option) request that a file be sent to them as a ZIP archive, or as a GIF instead of a JPEG. Remote administration through SITE extension commands to the normal FTP protocol. Allows remote administration by selected users, programmable even by standard scripts fed to the command-line FTP clients common on Windows and other systems. Emphasis is given first to compatibility, stability and security, second to speed, third to features. The server must NOT go down, and must be well secured. Other programs with "check-lists" of features have often sacrificed stability, security, and compatibility to achieve those features, many of which are incomprehensible and useless to most users. Our whole development program is geared around simplicity, giving an easy interface to learn and use, a stable and fast server, that has often decreased in size at the same time as adding new features. Full on-line, context-sensitive help. Detailed logging to file - the file can be renamed while server is still running, to provide daily logs without interrupting FTP service. Simple Control Panel applet provided for local and remote administration and control. Access to remote network resources through UNC (Universal Naming Convention, e.g. "serversharepathfile.txt") file names. Shortcuts (.LNK files) resolved securely yet usably. .LNK files may not be uploaded, downloaded, or created through the FTP control connection. The targets of .LNK files, however, will be accessed as normal when the .LNK file's base name is used.
