IPSwitch WS-FTP Server 6.1.0.0 sucks!

I just got a phone call from a customer who complained about the short timeout of the ftp server which is 60 seconds and I agreed with him and I promised him to change the value to 300 or whatever is bigger than 60 but now comes in the catch and it’s called WS-FTP Server 6.1.0.0. Believe it or not but you can’t change the default timeout via the administration panel but I found out that there is an update to 6.1.1.0 which includes this incredible feature of changing the timeout but I couldn’t download this update because you have to register this product at ipswitch and I don’t know the freaking details :/ so no luck at all you damn bastard. I remember the older versions of ws-ftp server where the administriation tool was a win32 application and you _could_ edit the default timeout there…of course you could…damn, that’s a standard feature!

I wouldn’t complain at all if there would still be the windows administration application but it’s not and now they have this “super fast web interface” which can handle less than the original windows app and with their updates they pull out new functionalities which are missing…in other words: they sold an unfinished product and the dumb asses out in the world are willing to throw out their money for crap like this.

DISGUSTING!
