It can be found on http://netwinsite.com/surgeftp/ ; can any of the great souls on gentoo, test out this nifty 'lil app and tell us all what u think ?
The auto-ban ip thingy is what is very very useful, and most people woukd wan to have something like that..

Umm, kinda it is.. but its got a 30day fully working trial !
Besides, arent these the functions we'd like to see in our GNU ftp servers ??
I still cant get a simple auto ip ban script to work since 4 days !!!

I think proftpd can do that - I know that vsftpd can (by users - probably not class/unix group)

nscd (part of glibc) can do this for every service that requests uid/name/password gid/name hostname lookups

I think portsentry can do this - although that blocks all services and not just ftp

I think that's it's main selling point - other FTP daemons have everything else. |
