Wg2.0, Vircomm TCP/ip, FTP server?

[Nathan]

In the past, I've had WG configured such that it served www, ftp, and smtp.
I dont really have a need for www, and smtp, but curently it'd be nice
if i could FTP in, just as sysop (or some other user), to transfer some
files to another machine.
So i went to connect to ftp to see what i had access to, and i found
that it wasnt running, or at least not accessible remotely.
So i took a nice trip through CNF and did not find any options that
allowed me to enable FTP.
The board runs WG2, on DOS, and has VirComm's TCP/IP package installed.
From what i can tell in CNF (and what i remember from when i set the
whole thing up) Vircom takes away the tcp/ip functionality from the WG
and handles it through the Vircom package.
Does this mean that FTP is not available? Or am i just missing someting?

Thanks for any help!

Isnt the ftp server a built-in feature of WG2 though?
and if it is, did my vircom install disable that functionality?

Check the offline configuration options that enable and disable
modules. You will find the tcpftpd option disables.

Thanks, but i'd already found a solution. Maybe the module was
disabled, and thats what caused the problem. What i ended up doing was
copying a few of the vircom module files (those dedicated to FTP) from
my test bbs install into the live bbs install. It added the
functionality right in.

It may have been gone because it was disabled though. Perhaps that was
an easier solution.

Thanks anyway.
