Mixed case characters
by Magnus-swe - Jan 7th 2002 18:09:07
The mixed case character issue has been fixed.
I changed all the paths and the binary is now called gproftpd.

local ftp server must be running X
by be - Jan 5th 2002 22:28:03
this is a nice well presented program (other than
the fact that I have always had a problem with
program names containing mixed case characters)
the install contained no hidden gotchaz, no
obscure dependencies and the program started
nicely on my kde mandrake box RUNNING X
unfortunately it was no good for my primary
"standalone" server which does not run X.
for that i reverted to proftpd webmin applet,
which seems to do everything this program does but
also lets me have gui access (if i want it) for
the non-X server. ergo a potential feature would
be the ability to configure a remote proftp server

While I agree that ability would be nice (and not that hard to implement),
you can easily run this program on a server that is not running X. All you
need is to have xlibs and gtk and any other required libraries installed on
the server and ssh -XC into it to run the gui from remote. No X server
needed and no X related security holes are opened on the server. That is
the beauty of the network transparent client-server model that X uses.
