Paul ---
Rebuilding the FTP server is definitely a possibility, and I may get around
to making a custom version before we ship our beta version... Since we have
no plans to include FTP as part of the final product I'm being a little
timid about diverting anyone to tinker with FTP when the out-of-the-box FTP
server meets our basic needs for the moment. So far it hasn't been an
important enough change to think very hard about... A simple registry
change would have been just about free, anything I have to think about can
wait in line for neurons with everything else.
I do appreciate that your suggestion was very specific about how to make the
change... I'll probably get around to tinkering with it as we get down to
the wire on our ship date. (Theoretically I should be running out of other
things to do around then... Theoretically...)
Thanks again for your help, you folks who monitor this group are a more
valuable resource than anyone at Microsoft suspects. Cheers!
