campus - FTP-server for BeOS®

campus: Overview

campus is a ftp server for BeOS®. It was developed to give computers running BeOS® the possibility to be integrated into a heterogenous network as a file server.

FTP is the standard internet protocol for file transfers and ftp clients exist for all operating systems which can be connected to the internet. With campus you will be able to serve files over the network to any attached computer, in the case of the internet you can share your files with the whole world.
The security features of campus make sure that users can only access the files that have been specified in the configuration. Even multiple public accounts are possible.

campus has all the features you can expect from a ftp server on a non-legacy operating system like BeOS®. campus even supports an extension to the FTP protocol which allows a FTP client to retrieve and store the extended attribute that the BeOS file system stores with each file.

It implements all commands used in todays ftp clients and uses pervasive multithreading for faster service and increased performance on multiprocessor systems.

Through the use of a common server building block also used in other server products from Stegemann & Co., Inc. like the http-server diner, campus' connection handling is very fast and reliable, it will survive network restarts and other unexpected hazards.

campus has a very low memory footprint. It comes with a seperate graphical user interface using the new fGUI library, this allows to further reduce the memory usage of campus.

Also included in the ackage is an easy to understand yet powerful graphical preferences program that allows you to set up your FTP server in minutes!
