>ProFTPD is a ftp server primarily written for the
various unix variants however it will compile under Cygwin
giving some support on Windows platforms. It has been
designed to be much like Apache in concept taking many
of the ideas (configuration format, modular design, etc)
from it.</P

some work but it's not actually difficult. Look through the
directive list shipped with the source and package builds
of ProFTPD and see what needs work. Check the source code

>There are several known problems with libc5-based
systems, including improperly implemented library routines
(vsprintf and vsnprintf are examples). There are known
problems with the resolver library. For these reasons
and others lib5 is not being supported at all, the latest
versions of the major distributions (inc Debian, Redhat and
Suse) are all glibc. </P

changes to the work.</P

read-only mode, however this code is right on the bleeding edge and is

users and interested users to test out the latest changes on real
systems. </P
