CoreFTP Server will not run on Windows 2003 R2 SP2

Post by michaelcurran »

Hi Everyone,

We searched the internet for an SFTP server that states it works under Windows 2003 and landed on CoreFTP.
We installed the 64-bit CoreFTP server product on our Windows 2003 R2 SP2 server successfully.
When we execute the program, it fails. The error message is
"The procedure entry point inet_ntop could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll"

So it appears that the latest version of software is not quite compatible with Windows 2003 server.

We can see that there are many earlier versions of product in the download archive, but we don't have time to try them all.

Can anyone advise how we can get CoreFTP Server working on our Windows 2003 server?

Cheers,


Michael

For the time being you will need to use the 32-bit version (if requiring v2).

The only noticeable difference between the 32/64 versions should be available memory for use. Functionality should be identical.


The other option is to use the 1.2 version (build 589.42) which employs IPv4 support only and should work for x64.
