Subject: Announce of Libra FTP server
From: Shesterikov Maxim (sm) (ShesMaxru.hilti.com)

Hello,
 
I'm announcing the availability of new anonymous FTP server.
It was written from scratch with the main priorities being security and
compatibility with standards and existing clients.
 
From security point of view, the server is kept as short and simple as
possible and every line of code was considered for possible security
impacts,
including DoS ones. The server doesn't have "features" of wu-ftpd and
proftpd, and, because of the smaller code base, should be much more
reliable.
Probably, the spirit of the server is more close to Dan Bernstein's one.
 
When it comes to standards, the following ones were considered: RFC959,
RFC1123, RFC854, RFC1579, RFC2389.
As other server advantages I'd like to mention:
 - internal LIST implementation;
 - ability to work well inside chroot's (no external programs, /dev/null or
   anything is necessary);
 - absence of configuration file;
 - the code being written specially for Linux.
 
The server is available from
http://libraftp.narod.ru <http://libraftp.narod.ru>
 
Best regards
Maxim Shesterikov
