Guys .. Been running BulletProof all these years, but think it's time to upgrade. What do you guys recommend? G6; Serv-U; ws_ftp; F-Secure

I like the ease of BP .. Tried ws_ftp since I love the client, but didn't care for the server.

Thanks

Serv-U

2nd on serv-u, user friendly and easy to setup.

If I'm not mistaking, then G6 and BP are the same. Used to be G6 but BP took it over.

I thought the same .. Looks like BP is the 'Home' edition and G6 is the 'High End Commercial' edition.

I'm testing out Serv-U now .. The only thing that I havn't found yet is the ability to have people login using their nforums userid without defining them all first. In BP, I would create a nforums userid and password, uncheck the Login field then folks could log in just utilizing the nforums password .. Is this function available in Serv-U?? I also do not see a way to ban a IP based on the amount of invalid login tries ...

Thanks

Personally i would use ioFTPD (win) glFTPD (linux) theya re both really good and secure. Have a look into both of them there are plenty of addons and they are both free

No, thats the only thing it doesnt have. But you will find it has other powerfull features that bp doesnt have.

the best thing about serv -u that it hase remote administration capability.
For user name login only with password you out of luck.
