Just for the record. Anonymous FTP is not free, because you have to have an IP address for it that can not be shared with any other anonymous FTP site. On the other hand, you can have an anonymous HTTP site using Host Headers just by adding a DNS entry to that IP, and this one can be shared with your already up and running site without any trouble. -Samuel _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
