wu-ftpd for OS/2 is a port of well known ftp daemon from Washington
University. It was ported to OS/2. The security scheme is simple, but strong
enough - you assign a drive for anonymous & guest users, and that's the all
they can see/use. You may use a special hard drive partition, or use subst for
OS/2, or use TVFS (look at EWS at IMS's site) to make this (those) drives as
powerful as UNIX file system. The wu-ftpd server supports a lot of features,
like built in ACL (Access Control List), automatic file compression, reget,
passive mode (for firewalls) and more.
I've also added support for multi-domain mode (i.e. you may have many
addresses and specify different configuration for each one).
New version is available at ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/incoming/wuftpd24c.zip
and will shortly be moved to
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/network/tcpip/wuftpd24c.zip
New version has a lot of bugs fixed. It's stable enough, so I think it's not
an alpha version any more. And as I promised, when port is became "beta" -
the sources would be available. You may download them from
ftp://sky.chph.ras.ru/os2/incoming/wu-ftpd/
This is also the place where you can get the latest version of wu-ftpd for
OS/2 (I will upload new versions to HOBBES only after a lot of changes will be
done).
You may write me about bugs and your wishes to alexandr@public.ua.net
