A point worth noting before deciding on any FTP daemon is whether or not
your decided package will run as an NT service, rather than requiring a user
to be logged on to start the FTP Server.... in my experience, not very many
will do this out of the box...

just my 2c.

Subject: RE: alternatives to IIS for FTP server on WIN NT 4

Hi

the new serv-u 3.0 server from http://www.Serv-U.com/ its in my opinion the
best ftp server.. I have tested all the comercial ftp servers. including
ws_pro

Other versions of serv-u ' s where not reliable or for heavy use but this
one just released some days ago is :)

regards
