Beta 5!

darkone · 09-06-2003, 02:37 PM

Time has come.. be ready

It will blow competition away by far (tnx to you for suggestions)

'R' version will be released tomorrow (Sunday), while 'u' will be released few days after (I haven't had time to implement pre-compiler tags... so bare with it, or register)

Ps. There will soon be several other license types

(One that is even cheaper than current personal license)

Neato...

Cant wait to grab it

Nice work man.

Ohh btw: How about idle time out per user / group. Really needed for those 0day shell ppl

Dont really wanna use ioSiteKill

Hmms.. i think I can add per user idle time to release (shouldn't be tricky)

Yep, there were some bugs that had to be addressed

bugs? I was told u dont make misstakes

Hi D1.

Saw it has finally been released as warez, lets hope
something good will come from this in the end.

Anyway... some of us are still waiting for it to be
able to run as a ntservice. Some time ago you wrote
that you would give it higher priority, any progess yet ?

Also, it would be interesting to know if there will be
a ipv6 version of ioftpd some time ?

Keep it up.

Mouton · 09-17-2003, 09:56 AM

he said once that ipv6 wasn't planned.

as for service, u can run it as a service using srvany.exe and instsrv.exe
it's been tested and working on latest b5.
