Hi,
i'm looking for a good ftp server (free) which could work perfectly with a web server. basically i read a lot about proftpd but i have some problem with support. Question stay unanswered :-( so is there another good ftp server which could make a deal ?
the idea behind is to have a web server for testing purpose (in the testlab for developers)
thank a lot.
In general you want to avoid using ftp except for providing anonymous downloads. For uploads, you should be using something that doesn't expose passwords in network traffic. ssh is a better alternative for that. 'putty' is an ssh client available gratis for Windows, if that is a concern.
Don't forget there is FTP-S (FTP over SSL). vsftpd supports both FTP and FTP-S. Most reasonable FTP clients also support it (gftp, kasablanca, etc.). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - C program run.
