It handles all basic FTP commands plus a lot of special FTP commands like MDTM, NLST, FEAT and many more. The default configuration included with this plugin allows you to access your W:\ remotely.

SlimFTPd

• Plugin Version + Release Date: 3.16 (25 March 2005)
• Plugin Description: SlimFTPd is a fully standards-compliant FTP server implementation with an advanced virtual file system. It is extremely small as it is written in pure Win32 C++ with no external dependencies and no messy installer. SlimFTPd is a fully multi-threaded application that runs as a system service on Windows 98/ME or Windows NT/2K/XP. The default configuration included with this plugin allows you to access your W:\ remotely.
• Plugin Notes:

1. This plugin is for those who don't mind editing configuration files. If you don't fit in this category, use the Quick 'n Easy FTP Server Plugin instead.
2. After installing, edit the "slimftpd.conf" file and change the admin username and password ASAP!
3. Some users have reported that McAfee AntiVirus and Microsoft AntiSpyware detects this as a trojan. This is because SlimFTPd doesn't contain any GUI and can easily be installed on a remote PC without the user knowing it. We can assure you that is just a false alarm. If this bothers you, use the Quick 'n Easy FTP Server Plugin!!

Python is developed as an open source project, managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation.
2. ActivePython is ActiveState's quality-assured, ready-to-install distribution of Python.
3. mod_python is an Apache HTTP Server module that integrates the Python programming language into the Apache server. It is intended to replace Common Gateway Interface (CGI) as a method of executing Python scripts on a web server. The promised benefits are faster execution speed and maintaining data over multiple sessions.
