FTP server
(ver Mar 31 2023)
Freeware


mTCP software requires that a PC/TCP Packet driver be 
first installed, or it will refuse to load. Some mTCP 
software (in particular SNTP) can also read the Time 
Zone [TZ] information from the Environment variable.  

This mTCP FTP server for DOS is a very good FTP server  
suitable for use on the Internet.  Included is a sample 
password file "ftppass.txt".  "ftpsrv.exe" is the FTP 
server executable file.  For testing purposes (or to 
perhaps initially get files onto the server), included 
also is a simple DOS (mTCP) FTP client "ftp.exe".  


CAUTION: Before running FTP server, you must include FTP 
server specific parameters to the configuration file, 
as well as setup several Environment variables (make 
sure the amount of space allocated to the Environment is 
sufficient).  Please read the well written mTCP.pdf file. 

mTCP software uses the mTCP TCP/IP stack (-not- WATTCP).     
mTCP software reads its configuration settings from a 
regular text file, to which you add valid parameters.  
You need to add a MTCPCFG Environment variable that 
points to this configuration file (specifically naming 
the file means it does not have to be called MTCP.CFG).  
A sample of this file is included (see- "SAMPLE.CFG").  
The Syntax is: 
	Set MTCPCFG=<path\filename.ext>


Note: DHCP leases will expire, so you if you are using 
a dynamic (rather than static) IP address assignment, 
you need to periodically re-run DHCP to get a new lease.  
mTCP programs will check for DHCP expiration by reading 
the "TIMESTAMP" (second line) in the configuration file, 
and will refuse to run (and display an expired message) 
if the lease is expired.  If you use a Static IP, you 
must remove (or comment-out with #) the TIMESTAMP line.
