Windows Sysadmin Halp

Post by Cartollomew » 26 Jun 2009, 17:36

@Xact/Midi/Otters with experience:

We just picked up a Winblows 2003 server to host Windows only games (America's Army 3, Gary's mod etc etc)

We have most of our custom software running fine, but we've hit a wall with regards to FTP.

FTP accounts are set up for each user, and they can change/set their password through our site. The password is stored in a mySQL database.

On *nix, we user proFTPd, which supports accessing SQL databases and retrieving FTP account info.

On Windows... ?

proFTPd is built only for *nix type systems - you can get it working via cygwin, but that'd be evil, and apparently it doesn't support the mysql module either.

Anyone know of any Windows FTP servers which support DB account info?

Wish I could help, but the only FTP I've used is out of the box :(
