[thelist] FTP Server for Windows NT?

[Robert Goodyear]

I guess I'll be the first to raise my hand and say that this, in fact, has been a HUGE
problem for me, especially on an ADC under Win2K Advanced Server. I have never been
successful at this task under IIS5.

So I gave up and installed Serv-U ftp and did it with a wizard and my life got much
easier. In fact, I wrote to this very listserv asking if anyone had been successful under
Win2KAS and ADC in making FTP behave correctly using user folders and got zero responses,
so my guess is that it is quite a task that noone has reliably cracked.

Anyone... anyone?
