I have a network between a WinXP PC and a Linux SUSE PC. I want to be able to transer files between the machines. I used the Windows explorer to transfer files (I think the protocol is smb:// (Samba)). But I got 50% higher transfer rates if I used the HTTP protocol (WLAN). I couldn't figure out how to upload files to an Apache server so I moved over to VSFTP instead, thinking the transfer rates would be just as high. VSFTP works but I think my configuration is slightly insecure. I want users (the WinXP box) to be able to upload files and to delete files in one directory, a sub-directory of /srv/ftp/. So I thought I would use tcp wrappers to make sure only my WinXP machine could access the ftp-service. (The ftp-server will only be up when I'm transferring files.) But it seems like my version of vsftp doesn't support tcp wrappers. %3
