- THE SERV-U PROMO MESSAGE
- ========================
-
- This is Serv-U version 2.1, a FTP server (or Daemon) for MS-Windows
- and its variants (Win95, NT) that use WinSock for TCP/IP network access.
-
- Serv-U, the all purpose FTP server for WinSock offers the following:
- * Lots of security: Passwords, read/write/modify rights per directory or
- file for each user (including ANONYMOUS), access on the basis of
- IP-number.
- * Multiple simultaneous users and transfers.
- * Both in 16- and 32-bit, and very, very stable!
- * Support for UL/DL ratios, and disk quota limitations.
- * Users can be put into groups for easy maintenance of large numbers.
- * Serv-U works well with Mosaic, Netscape, and MS Internet Explorer.
- * Access to all drives on your PC, including network drives.
- * A quite complete (and strict) implementation of RFC959 and RFC1123,
- including PASV, also supports the 'resume' command.
- * Supports 'links' like those in UNIX.
- * Supports multi-homed IP sites, and external user access verification DLLs.
- * Configurable greeting messages, for signon, signoff, and login.
- * Configurable directory change messages.
- * Can run 'invisible' - with no user access to the program.
- * Has a 'time-out' feature, so connections are automatically cleared when
- idle or hung.
- * Fast! Transfer speeds are close to the maximum possible on your PC.
- * Easy to setup and maintain through menus. For automated maintenance the
- settings are stored in an .INI file of simple format.
- * Logs all transactions to file and screen that can be read by other
- applications. Includes unique session IDs, time, and date stamps.
- * Log file can be read by other applications while open, or transferred
- through Serv-U.
- * A Windows standard: Over 3500 registered users with many for multiple
- copies.
- * It is dirt cheap, less than 0.11ct per line of code!

- TRY-OUT
- =======
-
- The 30 day try-out version comes in two flavors, one of which can be
- chosen during the first start-up: Either a fully functional version that
- contacts a permission server to enforce the 30 days of try-out, or, a
- slightly crippled version that does not contact the permission server.
-
-
- SERV-U FILES
- ============
-
- Serv-U comes with the following files:
-
- SERV-U16.EXE - The 16-bit FTP-server executable
- - and/or -
- SERV-U32.EXE - The 32-bit executable for Win95 and NT
- SERV-U.DOC - The documentation in MS-Word v6 format
- SERV-U.TXT - The documentation in ASCII format
- README.TXT - This file
- REGISTER.TXT - A registration form in ASCII format
- VERSION.TXT - A list of changes between versions
- FILE_ID.DIZ - Information file for bulletin boards
-
- The file SERV-U.DOC is the manual in a nice looking format. This
- reproduces best using a word processor that can read MS-Word v6 documents,
- but if you use Windows 95 you can also use the 'WordPad' program that
- comes with it (Although this will loose a bit in the translation).
-
- Installation is easy, but please take a look at the documentation
- before doing so. If you have an earlier version and want to upgrade
- then this is also described in the documentation.
-
