- Compatibility
-
- ╖ Follows the RFC 959 and 1123 FTP specifications.
- ╖ Works with Cute-FTP, WS_FTP, ftp (the one following Win95 and NT),
- MS Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, AmFTP, M-FTP, GuiFTP,
- - in fact, there is hardly reported any incompatibility at all.
- ╖ Emulates standard UNIX ftp servers, including most ls line
- parameters and ls formatted output.
- ╖ ABOR command supported. (Yes - it's listed in the RFC, but not
- all PC based FTP servers can handle it).
-
- ╖ REST command supported (Resume an aborted transfer)
- ╖ Import filter for Serv-U user database
- ╖ Native support for NT service process mode.
- ╖ Optional Wu-ftpd compatible log for file transfers
- ╖ Operates on Windows95, Windows NT 3.51 (Intel only) and
- Windows NT 4.0 (Intel only). War FTP Daemon is a native 32
- bit application and will not work on Windows 3.*.
- Requires 486 processor or better.
-
- Design
-
- ╖ Multithreading
- ╖ Dialog based system console
- ╖ Simple and advanced mode of operation, making it perfect for both
- small and large FTP services.
- ╖ Users are organized in user-groups and user-classes to ease
- maintenance of time-out, directory/file access etc.
- ╖ Automatic shutdown option when the last user has logged off
- ╖ Displays a list of all users online where you can kick one of them,
- edit the user database entry, send a message to the user or even spy
- at the user (see the last given command, current directory, file
- transfers and a list of all files this user has sent/received
- during the current session.
- ╖ Supports user supplied messages to the console through the SITE MSG command.
- ╖ Supports personal greeting messages to all users, groups and classes.
- ╖ Full OLE support for Win95/NT4 .lnk shortcuts
- ╖ Online and off-line operation
- ╖ In-memory transfer of directory listings
- ╖ DOS or UNIX style directory paths
- ╖ Mapping of paths to the root path
- ╖ Support for long filenames
- ╖ Virtual file system for improved performance and functionality,
- including full UNIX-like security and links on directory and file level.
- ╖ Scheduled re-scans of the Virtual File system to handle changes made
- on the file system outside the server.
- ╖ "On the fly" generation of index files for the current directory/all
- files on the system (that the user is allowed to see)
- ╖ Support for comments on any file/directory in "on the fly"
- generated .index files.
- ╖ Macros in the welcome files to display the users name,
- time-out limit etc.
- ╖ On single network/ppp connections, the server shows the current IP number
- in an edit window, allowing copy/paste of the number to other applications.
- It also saves this number to a file.
- ╖ Multihoming/multihosting support allows setup of several virtual FTP servers
- based on the IP number the user connect to.
- ╖ Context-sensitive Help
- ╖ Mounting of network drives at startup (NT service mode only)
- ╖ Denial of upload if the free disk space runs too low
- ╖ Flexible verification option on incoming files. This feature allows you to use
- "plug-in" modules (external programs) to verify and validate incoming
- files before the upload is accepted by the server. Can be used for CRC checking,
- virus scanning, processing of file_id.dix files etc. Several free plug-in
- modules are made available by experienced War FTP daemon users.
-
- Security
-
- ╖ High level of security with directory-level permissions for
- read, write, execute, dir, mdkdir, rmdir and delete.
- ╖ Full UNIX security with user group and rwx permissions if
- the Virtual File System is used
- ╖ Upload/Download ratio option for anonymous and regular users.
- Supports file or byte check (upload # files/bytes for each # files/bytes to download).
- Free files can be defined.
- ╖ Reports of user access privileges, directory access privileges, etc.
- ╖ Maximum number of concurrent connections for users, groups and classes.
- ╖ Maximum number of connections based on login IP number (allows you to
- have ## anonymous logins, but just # concurrent connections from one workstation.
- Handy to prevent one user from taking up too many connections.
- ╖ Simple one-button enable or disable option for users, groups and classes
- ╖ IP level access control for the system, users, groups and classes.
- Incoming connections can be refused before and after login based on
- the callers IP address.

- ╖ No built-in limitations ("crippling"), "secret" connections to my site or any other ugly stuff.
-
