Authors/Port authors:

FtpServer: an FTP daemon for OS/2. Lets you control which drives and directories the users are allowed to see. Also has controls on which IP addresses a client is allowed to connect from. This software was "optional shareware". What this means was that you decided whether you wanted to register as a paid owner of the software. The author will continue to provide support, for at least the short-term future. Many thanks to Peter Molyan, the author, who on 03/09/2014, released as GPL License the source code of one of the most used ftp server on OS/2. The source code is available from the author's site.

The program was developed using Modula/2 Toolkit for OS/2, in Modula-2 language (an advanced Pascal language).

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.

Manual installation

Program is distributed as ZIP package: download to temporary directory, unpack to destination folder and run FOLDER.CMD to create an FtpServer folder on your desktop. Read the INF file and run Setup or VIOSetup to create users. To setup the server from remote, use IniServe. Warp 4.51 or better is needed to support files bigger than 2GB.

LIST OF CHANGES Version 2.8 (16 Dec 2020) Added support for code pages 1208 and 1251. Fixed: in version 2.79, subdirectories were not shown in a directory listing. Fixed: users were not being restored when switching away from multiple INI file configuration. Fixed: when doing remote configuration, Setup looks at the remote files FTPD.INI and/or FTPD.TNI to make the decision on TNI mode, to ensure that the file that is being edited is the same one that FTPD.EXE will choose to use.

LIST OF CHANGES Version 2.6 (18 Sep 2017) Minor alteration to Monitor display to change the brackets around IP address. Added a "GetClientAddrs" utility to Tools. Added ability to sort the list of users in Setup. For Ftpd, Monitor, and Setup, added a rule that they will use TNI files if the corresponding TNI files exist (in the current directory) and the INI file does not exist. This decision can be overruled by explicit command-line parameters, as before.

Fixed: we wait until the password is confirmed before deactivating or deleting a limited-use account. Added a manual page explaining the use of UTF-8 to transfer file names. Fixed: Adding a hidelist sometimes caused a spurious last entry to be displayed. Made "change directory" operation conditional on no HideList match.
