One of my 486DX2/66 boxes became a warez site over a year ago (w/out my knowledge). The load from all the FTPs taking place on this small box was incredible. 100 clients made the box totally dead. I tried NcFTPd just for fun and found I could still get a login and do things (admititly *very* slowly). I've been using NcFTPd since then, esp. to prevent downloads from /incoming, and have had zero problems with it. It is a very nice and configurable FTP daemon. I have also been using NcFTP since version 1.0, and maintain both the 1.x and 3.x ports. I haven't used a stock FTP client for over ?7? years. So what do you see as the problem with the author's knowledge of the FTP protocol?? -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
