1. how to install ioftpd as service in WinXP SP1, i have tried ioSERVICE script but even ioftpd service appears in services list it doesn't work, i can not connect to ftp

2. do i need EGGDROP and what is it? i do not want any irc or what is this, just ftp service.

1) perhaps you read the docu once again - if the server does not run without start through ioservice - your settings are bad

2) for ftp only you just need to a few steps
a) go into the /etc/ dir and edit the admin.vfs
b) start the server an use ioFTPD ioFTPD as user
(if you change the pass of ioFTPD-user look up your
host.rules also in the etc dir)

ioFTPD is running without any problem while i run it from ../system/ directory, also installation of ioSERVICE is done without errors, in system services list is ioSERVICE running but i can not to connect to ftp

do i have to run ioftpd manually? if yes then why, when it is installed as service?

what to edit in admin.vfs? ftp is runs perfectly when i start it manualy

thanx anyway

for normal use - start it within the autostart - easiest way

for use with ioservice you have to install the certificate within the ioftpd - with a .bat file

quote mapis:
not working with ssl... this problem was previously discussed in forum by dEF:
http://www.ioftpd.com/board/showthr...=&threadid=1510

if this isn't the prob check the ioservice settings once more

dont know what i am doing wrong but ...
i tried all of kinds of installing or runnig ioftpd as service but the result is always the same

ioftpd appears in service area and status is running but i can not connect to ftp

any reason?

thanx

you don't need ioService - forget it (as it seems you are a beginner) - just start ioFTPD.exe manually an stop it with killing the service

do it like in the first post an try to connect to
url: localhost or 127.0.0.1
port: 9999
user: ioFTPD pass: ioFTPD or
user: anonymous

thats all i could say if ya don't post any statusreport etc.

:read the documentation - CAREFULLY:
if you don't get it run - perhaps you try another ftpd (with gui :-P)

yes u r right i am a beginner but only with ioFTPD not with using computer :D

i know how to start it manualy or add it to start and this way its running

what i do not understand is: however the service is started and running i can not connect to it

nevermind ...

ioftpd is perfect for me, although i dont use any scripts etc..., not going to use anything else

anyway

thanx
