The main thing is that it has an extremely small memory footprint and very little per-process local memory usage. Of course it also uses sendfile() and has an ingenious way of keeping track of the number of logins in each class that is essentially zero overhead. It has some of the features of wu-ftpd, but none of wu-ftpd's problems. It isn't opensource, but has been deployed by freebsd.org, cdrom.com, freesoftware.com, and intel.com. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
