Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Globally, the description is not adequate, mainly
because I pasted the description from sourceforge, which was describing
the server for all possible users (including windows ones, yes).

My bad, I should have said 'to be run as a simple user' as opposed to
root.

No configuration gui. Again, this _is_ uncommon for other users.

And for a long time, I hope ! :)

Ok, though I don't think it covers the same features. I'll change these
lines a bit.

ok.

I changed the description to be the following:
wzdftpd is designed to be run as a user, and to be entirely
configurable using
SITE commands. It works on linux/bsd/win32, supports Ipv6, SSL, and is
multithreaded.
.
Features are: flexible user management, acls, virtual users/groups,
security,
speed, bandwith limitation, per command authorization, virtual
directories, dynamic
ip changes auto-detection, etc.
.
It includes several authentication backends, is easily
scriptable and provides
a powerfull event-driven system to extend server.
Thanks for you reply !
