Steve:
Thanks for your answer.
Yes, I *did* think of going for the '.net' version, but then I noted the extra things that needed to be installed on my server (SQL, etc, etc), and decided that I just wanted the 'old reliable' one that I started on in 2003/2004. It seemd (then) simple, and yet powerful.
So, I'll puzzle my way thru this and see what happens. I'm building a website for a probably small group of users (two or three hundred), and am using Apache. One aspect is looming: big data entry at the outset, then minimal later. I had hoped to use Archie's FTP server for initial file transfer up & down, and then his 'Site' command to run programs on my server, etc, etc
Anyway, why is the old FTP server being 'put to sleep' ?? Is there something wrong with it ?? It seems to run nicely on my Win XP Pro machines (I have two that are locally networked and am doing my development on them).
Thanks again for the response !
