This is going to sound crazy, but at the moment I am using Windows 95 to host a webserver and FTP server. There is good reason for this, Windows 95 is the best OS for the hardware on the machine. Windows 98 just won’t cut it. (Linux Distros also don’t work too well, Hardware is too old and slow, and I am not familure enough with Linux to work with the CLI without a GUI.)
At present I am running Apache server for HTTP and BulletProofFTP for FTP server.
I want to replace BPFTP with a better program. Preferably one that supports SFTP. But just not leaking memory would be an improvement. Security is not epicly important as this is just a personal server that I and friends use to host our websites and images (Forum signatures, etc.). High traffic, but no secure content.
Also it has to be free. I do not want to pirate software.
The system needs to remain as Windows 95 for now until the system finally dies (In about a year or so) and I change the OS to Windows XP or some flavor of Linux.
The system Specs:
Windows 95 C – All patched
P2 200mhz with MMX.
256 Megs of RAM
33 GIG HDD.
Winsock 2 is installed
