When ZitaFTP Server was first released for the Amiga computer, its usefulness was limited by the lack of a secure FTP client for the Amiga. However, that’s now changed with the release of RNOXfer.I’m pleased to say that works well with ZitaFTP Server. I’m really happy to see an FTPS client released for AmigaOS, because […]
ERROR I’ve released another small update to ZitaFTP Server, which can be downloaded now. This version adds one new feature: you can set the permissions given to file uploads (and created directories).

The most serious issue that’s been fixed was a security flaw that could allow users to access files outside of the shared directories (if you know how). Plus, the […]
I created ZitaFTP Server in part because I wanted secure file transfer on AmigaOS (something that wasn’t available previously). Some seem to think that plain FTP is good enough, so today I’m going to show you just how easy it is to steal passwords from plain FTP. This is something you need to be aware […]
