Re: WinCE 5.0 FTP server customization question...

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Paul ---
Rebuilding the FTP server is definitely a possibility, and I may get around
to making a custom version before we ship our beta version... Since we have
no plans to include FTP as part of the final product I'm being a little
timid about diverting anyone to tinker with FTP when the out-of-the-box FTP
server meets our basic needs for the moment. So far it hasn't been an
important enough change to think very hard about... A simple registry
change would have been just about free, anything I have to think about can
wait in line for neurons with everything else.

I do appreciate that your suggestion was very specific about how to make the
change... I'll probably get around to tinkering with it as we get down to
the wire on our ship date. (Theoretically I should be running out of other
things to do around then... Theoretically...)

Thanks again for your help, you folks who monitor this group are a more
valuable resource than anyone at Microsoft suspects. Cheers!

You have the source. Couldn't take more than an hour to get it to build,
after you clone it.

Paul and Valter ---
Thanks very much for the reply. I was hoping someone was going to tell
me about an undocumented registry key or something like that. (I used to
change the port under QNX all the time, so I assumed it would be easy.)

I assume that password protection and/or write protection as Valter
suggested will have to do for now. Thanks again for the fast answers.

Best I can tell with 5 minutes of reading the source, there's no
registry-based way to change the port; it's fixed at FTP_PORT. You have
the source; you could clone and modify it yourself, either to allow
registry changes to the port or to permanently change it to something
else.

I've been looking for a way to change the port number used for the FTP
server in WinCE V5.0, and it hasn't jumped out at me yet... I can find
a way to set the port for the HTTP server, but nothing so far for the
FTP. Can somebody point me in the right direction on this? I'd like to
change the ftp port to something non-standard so my beta-test customers
don't do silly things like deleting my system files from my flash
device. (And so DOS attack probes don't identify my FTP port as an
open invitation.)

Thanks...
