Technology. When it works, it's great. Amazing things can be done with technology. When it fails, though, it becomes a frustrating time sucking monster.

Last blog post I mentioned that you should never store passwords in plain text on a server. Actually, you shouldn't store passwords in plain text on any computer, including servers.

If you're writing a network server like I am with ZitaFTP, then you may be tempted to create a custom encryption algorithm to store some data.

It's nearly Christmas, so I'll be taking some time off soon to celebrate Christmas, and to relax. So, from us to you: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

There's no ZitaFTP Server release this week, because last week I was busy paying down some technical debt instead of making progress.

A few months ago I started having trouble where ZitaFTP Server sometimes wouldn't be able to bind to its data ports. The error was confusing: "permission denied."

At least two people felt the need to explain the difference between FTPS & SFTP to me in detail after I released ZitaFTP Server.

Kea Sigma Delta had its 10th birthday just over a week ago (14 November). I wish I could say that it's been a resounding success, but business and entrepreneurship aren't...

I have a new ZitaFTP Server update for you. This one has a major new feature that's almost invisible (and that's by design). The new feature is: countermeasures against password cracking.

I'm going to do something I've never done before, and don't plan on doing often: recommend the company that hosts this website (keasigmadelta.com).
