FtpServer, an FTP daemon for OS/2 and eCS, has just been upgraded to version 1.30. Don't be fooled by the low version number; new releases are rare because of a shortage of bugs. You can get it from http://www.pmoylan.org/pages/os2/FtpServer.html
or from
    ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/FtpServer/ftpser130.zip
or by searching for ftpser130.zip on Hobbes.

LIST OF CHANGES
  (since version 1.20. Many users will already have a later version  than that.)

Version 1.30      (9 Sep 2007)
   FEAT and OPTS commands implemented (RFC2389).
   INI file now taken from working directory, not
      program directory.
   Added check for repeated probes that look like
      a dictionary attack.  This version does not
      update the filter in the INI file.
   Cleaned up transaction logging, fixed errors in
      logging to a pipe.
   Fixed a bug in calculating the end position of
      a file whose size is between 2 GiB and 4 GiB.
   Added check to block usernames starting with '$'.
   Internal changes to INI file handling.
   Fixed an error in the REST command that could arise
      when file size was between 2 GiB and 4 GiB.
   Added option to disable Telnet compatibility, so that
     the Russian character 'ya' can be used in a file name.
   Policy change, for better NetDrive compatibility: if a
     restart point has been explicitly set for an upload,
     we overwrite rather than delete an existing file.
   Fixed bug: crash if port > 32767 in remote Setup.
   Fixed a bug in syslog priority code.
   Transaction log may now be sent to syslog and/or to
     a pipe, as well as the existing screen/disk options.
   New command SITE UTIME, which some ftp clients can use
     to set the timestamps on an uploaded file.
   VIOSetup now supports the "suppress logging" option.
   Policy change: if logging is suppressed for a user, we
     suppress all logging for that user, not only the
     transaction logging.
   Workaround for thunking bug when calling VIO functions.
   New error code (452) for not enough space on an upload.
   Better implementation of the Setup option to switch to
     and from multiple INI files.
   Fixed bug: Setup was crashing when editing directories
     for a new user.
   The transaction log now includes replies as well as
      commands.
   Check for non-numeric REST argument.
   Ability to omit a user from the transaction log.
   Files to be downloaded are now opened in shared-access mode.
   New option to split the FTPD.INI into many different files,
      for the case where there are many user accounts.
   The main Setup notebook now remembers the font dropped on
      it from the font palette, and the font dropped on the
      page tabs.
