   "dg-ftpd" is originally based on wu-ftpd and retains many of it's most
important features. The problem with wu-ftpd was that it was big, bloated
("feature rich"), and slow. dg-ftpd is small and fast, but is tailored to
the exact environment we have on wcarchive and lacks many features that
many people think are important. I have no plans on releasing dg-ftpd.
