I'm trying to use zebedee to secure ftp traffic on a Windows XP machine and I
want everything to start as Windows services at boot time (before anyone logs
in). I'm using slimFTPd which is a tiny, freeware FTP server that can be
configured as a Windows service. Unfortunately, it does not allow me (or
Ihaven't been able to figure out how) to specify the address that it will
report for itself in FTP requests, or to specify a range of ports for passive
connections. And while I have succeeded in using the ftpgw.tcl tcl script with
zebedee and the slimFTPd sever, I don't know of any way of getting tclsh to
run as a Windows Service. Can anyone provide any information regarding
either:

a) how to run the provided ftpgw.tcl script as a Windows service that starts
when windows starts, or

b) a freeware ftp server that can be configured to run as a Windows service,
and that allows you to specify the address that it will report for itself in
FTP requests as well as a range of ports for passive connections.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide advice.

Josh
