- Plugin Version + Release Date: 2.6 (25 March 2005)
- Plugin Description: Quick 'n Easy FTP Server is a multi threaded FTP server for Windows 98/NT/XP that can be easily setup even by inexperienced users (who have no idea how to edit SlimFTPd's (the other FTPd Plugin we provide) configuration file). 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.
- Plugin Notes: After installing, wait for the the Admin Tool to load, then go to "Show User Accounts" and change the admin password ASAP!

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:
- 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.
- After installing, edit the "slimftpd.conf" file and change the admin username and password ASAP!
- 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!!

- mod_python is an Apache HTTP Server module that integrates the Python programming language into the Apache server.
