I'm not understanding something here, and I think most of the rest of us are missing it, as well. You can pick up hardware capable of serving http to all your machines for upgrade off my curb today. Really, it takes almost nothing to build a very capable web server for static content. Since you are probably talking about only one or two platforms, a small SSD can hold all the files and packages, put into a seven year old computer with SATA interface, and ta-da, you got a $100 (or way less) http server that will absolutely kick ***. I find it unlikely your existing FTP server can't have a web server added and pointed at the same directory your FTP is being served from now, unless it is some bizarre little appliance thing, in which case, you would really benefit from an upgrade, performance-wise. So...is there a real problem in your environment that makes FTP more desirable? If so, I'm sure a lot of us would like to be educated on this...or is it just a reluctance to change? Nick.
