HISTORYWhat is Gftpd? In the beginning of 1997 I got tired of xftpd's lack of features. After testing bftpd, I noticed that it had millions of bug's, so I decided to code a whole better daemon that is based on bftpd, wuftpd, xftpd and pheard. First I made a huge amount of bug-fixes, and after that started to desing a new features that hasn't been done yet. I've also taken ideas from many supporting people that have been testing the daemon. And also other daemons such as rftpd, ftp4all, eftpd, glftpd, etc. have given me some new ideas. If you are Win95/98/w2k/NT user then you should check WarFtpd and http://www.g6ftpserver.com/ In the fall of 1997 the daemon has gotten very stable and enjoyable to use. And the amount of request to use the daemon has risen dramaticly. So I gave permission to use the daemon on a few selected places. And the feedback has been very good. Both the users and admins have liked the features, and the suggestions for the features to daemon have made it interesting to continue devoloping the daemon. The documentation for gftpd has been rather non-existant, so I desided to make WWW-pages that has documentation and helps to use daemon's features better. Some people are saying that this is the best linux ftp daemon around, and some people hate it. I don't know, make up your own mind. |
