Running programs as a service

[mntlfngrs]

Does anyone know how to set up programs to run a a service? Specificaly, I am trying to run an FTP server but want to still allow user accounts to be logged into without interupting the FTP service. XP does have an FTP server that can be added but it is apparently for development purposes only and has many components disabled. "Be all and you'll be to end all.

Start your research at this site and take it from there.




"You will need the two small Microsoft programs in order to set up your service. Instsrv.exe is the program used to create a Windows service, and Srvany.exe is a program that allows almost any other program to run as a service. These files are available in Microsoft's Windows Resource Kit, at various internet sites, or you can just download them both here."
