I am wondering what version of NT you are running. So, tell me. Anyway, I have an NT server, and their is an option in there to switch, but as far as that standard ftpd goes, I am not sure. You should check out the ncftpd (I am talking about the ncftp server and not the client). I believe you will find that option in there somewhere.
