And I understood, that direct porting wu-ftpd to win32 environment with cygnus tools is a bad idea :-( Inetd runs separate copy of wu-ftpd for each ftp connection. It takes much memory resources. Multiconnection inet services should have multithreading model in win32 environment! If you need really good native win32 ftp server for Windows NT or Windows 95, search for War-Ftpd on www.windows95.com. It is really great ftp daemon for win32 platforms. -- Sergey Okhapkin Moscow, Russia Looking for a job. - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
