FTP & WWW server for Win98 - Ideas??

[slewis1972]

Hi,
Anybody use or recommend a FTP and a www server program that I can install on a Win98SE PC that is being used as a server with a CM attached.
Probbaly something similar to IIS in Win2k would be great.

Thanks

Well i dont know what CM is, but a good ftp program is called SERV-U, i dont really know how powerful it is, but its an idea.

or your closest tucows mirror .. look in the Server Tools section.

Be aware of the security risk you are taking up with every server ESPECIALLY on a windows client and ESPECIALLY on windows 9x.

For example the current version of ServU FTP 2.5 has been demonstrated to have NUMEROUS exploitable buffer overflows [check out packetstorm archives]

Before i got win2k AS, i used Sambar V4.3 for serving out web pages on a win98 machine. You can download it from http://www.sambar.com. I also used serv-u for a while and it was a good program.

Hehehe .. sorry to be the wet blanket here but:

Sambar 4.3 versions stricken by DoS vulnerabilities
Checkout packetstorm or securityfocus.

Security Blah, Blah, Blah...

I thought we were talking about the internet.

There is no security

As it says on my shoes...
"Just Do It"

Last I heard, the Personal Web Server that comes with Win 98 is as good as any. It does HTTP and FTP.

Personal Web Server is slow...won't notice a difference if you view one or two pages, but anything intensive, and you'll see it lag.

Serv-U's a good FTP server, and you should get Apache for Windows for HTTP, fast and small.

Proxy+ is a proxy program that has a built in www server. Its pretty good. Im not sure if it has an ftp server though.
