It isn't reasonable to port wu-ftpd:-( For every ftp connection a separate 
copy of ftpd is started. It's very time/resource-consuming operation on 
win32. The only suitable model for win32 environment is multithreading:-( 
If you need a good ftp daemon, search for freeware war-ftpd on 
www.windows95.com.
