PROGRAM INTERFACE

  CGI

    FTPCGI is both STANDARD CGI and Windows CGI application.

  OUTPUT

    Some web servers (like Apache) requires special handling
    of CGI output headers (and sometimes special application
    name). To provide this way rename file FTPCGI.EXE to the
    name that begins from "NPH-", i.e. NPH-FTPC.EXE; in this
    case - all output will be with full HTTP/1.0 headers and
    the server that need this will know about this.

  EMAIL

    FTPCGI have built-in SMTP messenger using regular TCP/IP
    Winsock connection.

  SECURITY

    Each HTML page after login contains in body username and
    password that garbled with random data and expire period
    so the saved pages became inactive also without logout.

  PACKAGE

    FTPCGI is the single 47KB or 69KB executable file.
