Hi, Thanks for your reply.

I changed the description to be the following: wzdftpd is designed to be run as a user, and to be entirely configurable using SITE commands. It works on linux/bsd/win32, supports Ipv6, SSL, and is multithreaded. . Features are: flexible user management, acls, virtual users/groups, security, speed, bandwith limitation, per command authorization, virtual directories, dynamic ip changes auto-detection, etc. . It includes several authentication backends, is easily scriptable and provides a powerfull event-driven system to extend server.
