It is NOT ioftpd.exe crashing. It is due to a script that fails. Please check if you have the correct sitekill.ee version if you use it. A common problem I saw was that a crash occured due to soem people not being able to read and using an old sitekill version (for ioFTPD 4.x and not the sitekill for ioFTPD 5.x). So if that still isnt it then start drwtsn32.exe set it's options and start ioftpd, then you should see quickly from drwatson where the error occured (in some script very very likely).

i don't have any scripts installed..
it's a clean installation.. without any modifications

Shutdown ioFTPD. Search for hidden .ioFTPD* file and delete them all. Load ioFTPD again.

Lets hope is that easy !
