The server backend was good though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Igor Gueths" To: Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 7:48 PM Subject: Re: I swear to tell the truth, Hi Cecil and all. An example. I was using War Ftpd on my Winblows laptop. It uses Unix style permissions for file access. Only problem is that the gui makes it extremely difficult to set file permissions, and very hard to tell to what exactly you are setting those permissions to. In Linux, all you have to do is edit a config file, and that's it! A process that should take 1 or 2 minutes, took me about three hours because of the f-ing gui! ----- Original Message ----- From: Cecil H.
