Because it works and I don't have the time (read: too lazy) to move to
and configure a native linux ftp server. I've used bpftp for many years,
and this is one of the few cases where a usable gui really comes in
handy - when they created bpftp, they did a bang up job on the gui, and
since it works fine with wine I'm not motivated to move it to linux
native anytime soon. I may take it down - I don't really use it anymore
and all I get these days is google bots and sarcaxxo scans.
OP4 under Linux tends to eat cpu if you have a slower machine, but now
I'm using a 4 core machine and have cpu to spare for what I'm doing.
I seem to be getting lazy in my old age....ten years ago I was running
my OP4 server on a.... 450MHz PIII? That sounds about right, or maybe it
was the newer 800MHz machine. Not a lot of horsepower to spare, not much
memory, and you have to anguish over anything that even thinks of eating
memory or cpu. Today, phht, who cares, so what if we max out a core or
two, we have a couple more that we weren't hardly using anyhow, and we
can always slap in another GB of ram...

Why are you using a Win-FTP-Server on linux?
