FireFTP 0.9.4
FireFTP is an FTP server intended for Web hosting providers. more>>
FireFTP is an FTP server designed for web hosting providers. It uses a two-part design to provide a top-level "virtual" directory with a series of subdirectories underneath.
Each subdirectory can be owned by a different user; FireFTP chroot()s and setuid()s as it moves into each directory.
The end effect of this is to enable configurations where multiple users can have access to one directory and one user can have access to multiple directories, and system disk quotas still function as normal.
Installation:
./configure
make
(su to root or use sudo)
make install
FireFTP expects to be started as root from tcpserver (part of the ucspi-tcp package, see http://cr.yp.to); it may have issues when running under inetd or xinetd, due to tcpserver
environment variables that it expects to see.
A sample run file for svscan to start the process is provided in the contrib/ directory of the distribution.

Glub Tech Secure FTP 2.5.13
Glub Tech Secure FTP is a utility that allows FTP connections to be made using SSL. more>>
Secure FTP is a client application that allows for a 128-bit encrypted secure connection to be made to a server that supports FTP over SSL (or FTPS).
The application can be run via its graphical user interface (GUI) or from the command-line interface (CLI), allowing for headless (scriptable) operation. This makes Secure FTP a great option for both novice and advanced users.
The client is fully RFC 2228 compliant and offers both types of SSL connection options: explicit and implicit, which means more server compatibility.
Secure FTP is free to use for noncommercial use. Those wishing to use the client for commercial purposes are granted a license free of charge for 30 days.
The client is supported on Windows, Mac OS X, and any Unix platform where a Java 2 runtime environment (version 1.4+) is present. It was written in 100% pure Java.
Enhancements:
- The software was translated into French.
- Minor bug fixes and library updates were done.

PHP FTP Client 0.9.4
PHP FTP Client is a PHP FTP Client. more>>
PHP FTP Client is an FTP client that is useful for allowing people behind a firewall access to FTP without opening the FTP ports inside the firewall.
It could be used as a front end to a local FTP server, and therefore allow the administrator to provide access to the FTP server only from localhost.
Main features:
- Provide FTP access through a firewall which blocks FTP
- Provide a front end to an FTP server which only allows access to the web server, thus reducing the risk of the FTP server being attacked.
Enhancements:
- Have corrected problems with missing files. Was a case of linking against files I shouldnt have been.
- Added an FAQ, which currently only explains how to use the multi-file upload feature.

Web-FTP 2.2.1
Web-FTP is a Perl/CGI FTP client. more>>
Web-FTP 1.5.x introduces Crytpo Card support, and also some support for connecting to MS ftp servers.
Crypto card support allows people to connect to ftp servers that use crypto card security. Lemme know if it works for you.
Web-FTP is a fully featured ftp client designed for secure file management when used in conjunction with an SSL enabled web server.
As a secondary function it can serve as an FTP client for users whos firewalls block FTP, since all communication is through the HTTP protocol.
Once you log in to Web-FTP it retains a session, which runs locally on your server, subsequent calls to the cgi (with the proper cookie) reconnect you to your session, therefore maintaining state.
Since everything passes through a cgi, if you put that CGI on a secure web-server you will have secure ftp (as long as the ftp is the same machine as the http server, or is behind a firewall).

JaCL Linux 0.2005-07-11 beta1
JaCL Linux (Just a Command Line Linux) is a live CD distribution (a Knoppix remaster) of the Linux operating system. more>>
JaCL Linux (Just a Command Line Linux) is a live CD distribution (a Knoppix remaster) of the Linux operating system. JaCL Linux is designed to be run as a command line driven server or utility system.
Most major command line applications or server software available in a standard Linux distribution are available in JaCL Linux. Most X11 server software and applications have been intentionally removed from the distribution in order to streamline the
distribution for use as a server or utility system.
Examples of server or utility uses for JaCL include: web server, ftp server, DNS server, SMB server, rsync server, syslog server, local disk mirroring utility, remote rsync disk mirroring utility or hardware diagnostics utility.
The removal of the X server and X applications streamlines the distribution, reduces maintenance, and may reduce the risk of vulnerabilities.
Additionally other applications have been intentionally removed or omitted from the distribution, including applications which may pose a security risk if the server is user level compromised (i.e. network scanning utilities and packet sniffing tools).
The result is a full command line live CD distribution which is about half the size of a full Knoppix CD distribution.
Main features:
- an easily upgradable system
- a password protected system by default
- security warning banners (a requirement in some work environments)
- a security hardened base system
- an easy mechanism for systems administrators to automatically configure the system at bootup
- most server and utility applications included (the fact that Knoppix<<less

ftplib++ 2.0.2
ftplib++ contains a c++ class providing ftp client functionality. more>>
ftplib++ contains a c++ class providing ftp client functionality.
It supports all basic ftp functionality plus some advanced features like resuming, fxp, ssl/tls encryption, large file support, or logging to fit todays standards. The very base of ftplib++ is the nice code of Thomas Pfaus ftplib c library.
Every ftp session is represented by an ftplib object, whose methods are called to communicate with the ftp server.
The ftp sessions should begin with a call to myftp.Connect("myftp.org:21") (and maybe myftp.NegotiateEncryption()), be followed with myftp.Login("myuser","mypass") and ended by myftp.Quit(); For the magic in between, read the class methods documentation.
Most methods have their tasks yet explained from their name. ftplib++ uses the openssl library for encryption functionality, if you dont need it you can use the "NOSSL" flag, when compiling ftplib.cpp (g++ -c ftplib.cpp -DNOSSL).
If your system does not feature large file support you can use the "NOLFS" flag (g++ -c ftplib.cpp -DNOLFS).
ToDo:
- implement up and download speed limitation.
Enhancements:
- fixed a bug in the upload routine

Fast File Search 1.1.13
Fast File Search crawls FTP servers and SMB shares. more>>
Fast File Search is a crawler for FTP servers and SMB shares that can be found on Windows or UNIX systems running Samba.
It provides a web interface for searching files. It is optimized for searching files by a wildcard when there are some normal (not * or ?) chars specified in the beginning or in the end of the mask (for example *.iso).
Fast File Search crawler runs on UNIX (currently only Linux has been tested but I do not now any reasons why it should not work on other UNIXes). Fast File Search uses MySQL database, web interface needs a web server with PHP >= 4.0.3 and the crawler needs some perl modules.
The crawler (ffsearch.pl) crawls the network (FTP servers from the list and all reachable SMB hosts on the local network) and stores the information about files into database. It is invoked at certain times each day via crontab entries.
There are two modes of operation of the crawler: complete crawl and incremental crawl. The crawler expects a command line argument that tells crawler which mode to run (-c or --complete for complete crawl, -i or --incremental for incremental crawl). Both modes retrieve a list of the active SMB hosts in all workgroups.
The complete crawl tries to scan all active hosts and all hosts that are listed in database. The complete crawl should be run once a day.
The incremental crawl tries to scan active hosts and hosts listed in database that have not been scanned since the last complete crawl because they were unreachable. The incremental crawl should be run several times a day, for example each 3 hours.
How does the crawler get know whether the host has been crawled since the last complete crawl?
Each time the complete crawl is executed, the expire count is incremented first. When the host is crawled, expire count is set to zero. So all hosts whose expire count > 0 were not reachable since the last complete crawl. Moreover, when expire count reaches value specified in configuration (i.e. it was unreachable during the time period of complete crawls) the information about files on the "expired" host is deleted from database.
Web interface is used to search the files in database, details how to search are described in the Help section of the search page.
You can also add a FTP server to a FTP server list, edit FTP server in the list or delete FTP server from the list through the web interface. So that anybody could not do anything with the server list only the record about abcdef is editable from host abcdef. There are also admins who can edit all records in the server list. The admins login through the web interface.
Enhancements:
- fixed few bugs in the crawler
- added a possibility to exclude some SMB shares
- www: improved Russian and Ukrainian translation

Boston University Linux 4.5 Server Edition (Zodiac)
Boston University Linux is based on Fedora Core Linux, but specifically tailored for the BU environment. more>>
Boston University Linux is based on Fedora Core Linux, but specifically tailored for the BU environment.
Weve added security updates, made modifications to make software work better with the way things are set up here, and added some applications that we think you might like to have.
The server edition of BU Linux provides a modern, stable, and robust server platform suitable for long-term deployment in many roles throughout the university.
Supported Hardware
Currently, only i686-class machines are supported. This includes almost everything from Intels Pentium Pro on. AMD64 and Intel EM64T systems will work fine using their 32-bit mode. Watch for a 64-bit version later this summer.
Specific Notes on Server Applications
Mail Server:
BU Linux 4.5 Server Edition (Zodiac) includes three different choices of Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for your mail server. Each of these open source servers has its unique strengths, and you can install one or more and use the utility system-switch-mail to choose which is active.
The default is IBMs Postfix, which is designed from scratch to be secure and easily configurable. On a newly-installed BU Linux machine, Postfix is configured to exchange mail on the local machine and to send mail out to other systems, but not receive mail from the network. For this reason, outgoing mail from global BU accounts (those matching valid BU login names and with the proper UID) will appear to come from @bu.edu rather than @hostname.bu.edu. Local users (including system accounts) will retain the hostname, but without reconfiguration, any replies will bounce. Changing the system to accept mail is easy; see the BU Linux web site for details.
For the maximum flexibility and for compatibility with existing configurations (and with existing expertise), we also include the traditional standard Sendmail. And, if you have particular special needs, you may find that the new Exim MTA fits your situation best.
No matter which MTA you choose, please contact us if you need any assistance. With so many options available, the situation can be confusing, and its unfortunately easy for an accidentally misconfigured system to become a target for spam relayers. We have significant expertise at configuring both Postfix and Sendmail in a variety of situations, and will be glad to help.
FTP Server:
This release of BU Linux provides two options for FTP. The first is vsftpd, which is designed to be simple and secure. This is the most appropriate for almost all situations, but if you require more power and flexibility, we also include ProFTPd, which has many more options and a configuration syntax similar to that of the Apache web server.
Please also remember that FTP is an insecure protocol and that any passwords used travel over the network in plain text. For this reason, its best to avoid anything but anonymous FTP. For user-authenticated file transfer, use SSH and SFTP. (SFTP is provided by the OpenSSH server and enabled by default.)
Web Server:
The web server software included in BU Linux is the industry-standard Apache httpd. We also include PHP 4.3 and many other useful tools for building a web server.
If you need to provide authenticated access to web services to BU users, please contact us and we will provide you with our University-standard Weblogin module. This provides a powerful and flexible means of single-signon access control for the BU user community and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to provide this for your users.
Database Server:
BU Linux includes MySQL 4.1 and PostgreSQL 7.4. For less demanding SQL applications, we also provide SQLite 3, which provides simple SQL databases without the management overhead of running a SQL server.

This provides a powerful and flexible means of single-signon access control for the BU user community and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to provide this for your users.
Database Server:
BU Linux includes MySQL 4.1 and PostgreSQL 7.4. For less demanding SQL applications, we also provide SQLite 3, which provides simple SQL databases without the management overhead of running a SQL server.
