SlimFTPd really small ftp server

SlimFTPd ftp server setup and installation for windows xp.

Download the single .zip from WhitSoft.

Create a directory to install the executable, there is no installer for the program files. I put mine in F:\SlimFTPd

Now create the ftp directory that you will mount with the server. Mine is F:\Video\Driveway Camera

Edit the slimftpd.conf file that is in the install directory. The only change I made to the server config was to set LookupHosts Off.

Next scroll to the end of the config file and add your user information:

<User "usernamehere">
Password "passwordhere"
Mount / F:\Video\DrivewayCamera
Allow / All
</User>

Next run the SlimFTPd.exe file to make sure it works properly. You can use Windows Explorer to connect to the server.

To install as a service run the ServiceTool.exe file.

Start the new service with
net start slimftpd
from a command prompt or the Start->Run prompt.
