Or better yet, donation...

ServU Ftp is just not working right.

I need a replacement FTP server for LiquidNinjas.com

Any suggestions?

maybe server2003 has better security which is what i think was tom's hesitation to use it under server2000.
although, this is what i came across in researching. keep in mind SQL2003 has been released since this article.
Windows 2003 has just been released [Update 9-May-03], and has brought with it some surprises, like the extent to which users will have to upgrade to run it. Win2003 is incompatible with all existing Microsoft server applications, except IIS 2003 (Internet Information Server) which was launched simultaneously with Windows 2003 (T9). IIS 2003 is not compatible with previous Windows versions, including Windows 2000 Server

Patches are available to allow the Microsoft SQL Server database engine to run on Windows 2003 Server, but they are said to make the system very unstable (T9). SQL Server 2003 is still months away, and is a very expensive program, so upgrades are unlikely to be cheap.

Microsoft is already pushing Windows 2003 very hard to it's enterprise customers, pointing out that previous versions of Windows are dangerous to run because they're less stable, slower, and are riddled with serious security problems. That's the same thing they told us about Windows NT when 2000 came out, and the same thing they'll tell us about Windows 2003 when Windows 2006 comes out.

Complicating the situation is the fact that Microsoft doesn't consider Windows 2003 as released to be complete. Multiple features are to be released over a period of time (T11). These will have to be installed as available by users who wish to fully utilize this version of Windows

I prefer PureFTPd. It has database support so you can store logins in SQL for easy administration.
