An interesting idea, we have it as a port in www/thttpd. While we generally rather move base components that are not generally required to ports, this might be a case where it makes sense to replace one base system component by another one currently only available as a port ... The thttpd binary is smaller than the ftpd currently in base, and it might make sense to replace ftpd by this simple httpd: $ size /usr/libexec/ftpd text data bss dec hex filename 105901 4276 5984 116161 1c5c1 /usr/libexec/ftpd $ size work/stage/usr/local/sbin/* text data bss dec hex filename 5469 656 112 6237 185d work/stage/usr/local/sbin/makeweb 7453 760 120 8333 208d work/stage/usr/local/sbin/thtpasswd 81184 8336 2280 91800 16698 work/stage/usr/local/sbin/thttpd The sources are distributed under a 2 clause BSD copyright. Maybe having a HTTP server in base is more useful than a FTP server, today ... Regards, STefan
