Hi, I was looking for an ftp server to use with cygwin. First, let me say that I got an old machine running windoze 2k pro and was able to do a full clean cygwin install with no obvious problems :) But, after hunting around I didn't find proftp in the available packages ( but may have missed something ) and this doesn't mention cygwin,
http://www.proftpd.org/localsite/Userguide/linked/x160.html although I thought it said it was tested there. I grabbed the source, ran configure and make and even make install without incident but got a bunch of problems on startup with it trying to change the user. And, yes, I read the "README.cygwin" that came with the download ( suggesting it should work :) ) but I still wasn't sure what was wrong. What are user/group supposed to look like in the config file? ( I thought this may just be because my cywin passwd file doesn't match windoze on this machine but i had similar problem with the new install which should be clean ) Is there a link someone can provide on proftp with cygwin of suggest a better ftp server? ssh and scp work just fine as did other servers I started but I thought FTP would be nice to have too. Thanks.
