- I WISH I could do this! I have been trying since version 1.3 of Alun Jones'
- WINFTPD deamon - but still have the worst hanging FTP Server on the planet. I
- would LOVE to register the thing, but it FAILS to do the most simple things on
- my system. It must be my setup, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
- So... I beg for help.
-
- I would love to run Linux, but that is not an option right now, so I want
- something that works well under Windows 3.1 (and/or WFW 3.11). I fell Alun's
- program is perfect for me, but I get the following major problem(s).
-
- One can ftp to my machine, but AS SOON AS you issue an LS or DIR, it locks
- the session - not the deamon! You can start yet another session while another
- is hung, but with the same results. You can successfully issue other commands
- (like mkd, rmd, pwd, etc), but the output from ls and dir never shows up. The
- only thing the log shows at this point is ... LIST (start) that the end of it.
-
- I am open to any suggestions.
-
- My system consists of:
-
- 486 SX25
- 3c509 (3COM) Ethernet Card
- PCTCP 2.31 and 1.2beta (latest) Winsock
- Windows 3.1 (patched to 3.11)
-
- I can successfully run WinQVT/Net although it sometimes hangs (stops
- respoonding to the system) when closing a telnet session. I also run
- WinTalk and TextServer without any troubles. I can run TimeSynch, but it
- also hang just after setting the correct time.
-
- Any information is welcome. Please help me.
