The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Thought I finally may have found a portable HTTPS / SFTP server, but the program just starts and closes on my XP SP3 install. Assuming its just my machine, here's some more info:

Description: (from Softpedia)

• Cerberus supports FTP, FTP over TLS/SSL (FTPS and FTPES), the SSH2 File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), and web client access over HTTP and HTTPS. Optimized to use very few system resources, Cerberus is easy to administer and can quickly be configured to authenticate against Active Directory and LDAP.
  
  Includes a robust set of integrity and security features, can resume failed file transfers, and offers an easy-to-use manager for controlling user access to files and file operations.
  
  Connection limits and timeouts, security features and IP-level access can all be controlled by the administrator as well as many of other settings.
  
  The Cerberus FTP Server software offers you statistics on connections and robust logging capabilities.
  
  Note: Free for personal, non-commercial use.

Same thing on my XP computer. Worked in Windows 7, though.

Thanks. Posted a bug report to their forums.

Forum folks got back to me and it looks like the program works. Unfortunately I can't claim portability for two reasons:

• I have the 2008 redistributable installed on my computer so I can't test if the included DLLs really make the program portable or not.
• I ran the program without running RegShot first so I need someone else to help me test for settings portability. So far it LOOKS portable.
  
  Having a secure web-based file server on the site was a goal of mine going way back, so any help with this would be much appreciated. The program so far is miles ahead of any other server software (except maybe Filezilla Server in XAMPP), while still being really easy to use.
