Freeware: Server

Web Server

  1. Apache
    • Open-source
    • The most successful web server!! Professional!

    • ASP, CGI, Perl, CGI/ISAPI for PHP, SSI
    • FTP+SSL
    • (Also see "LAN Server")

  3. Sambar
    • ASP, CGI, Perl, CGI/ISAPI for PHP, JavaEngine, WebDAV, SOAP
    • FTP+SSL
    • (Also see "LAN Server")
    • (I have little experience with Sambar)

    • Pure static content
    • Very small and easy
    • SSL support

    • Small and easy
