Does anyone know a workaround to get WS_FTP Server to install on Windows Server 2008?

I find it really annoying that there is absolutely nothing on IPSwitch's site regarding Windows Server 2008.  I suspect it's related to the same issues as Vista, but the slow movement in becoming compatible suggests that I should probably move to product that takes proactive steps to remain compatible.

It's a shame really, because I think WS_FTP Server is generally a good product, but Vista has been available for over a year, and Windows Server 2008 has also been available for awhile (and ALLOT longer in beta), and yet nothing is available for compatibility.  I may have even had a different opinion if they would at least aprise their customer base of the situation, which, they obviously are not, or at least make it very difficult to find.

I apologize for the negative post, but sometimes, negative feedback is necessary.

Thanks

I strongly agree! I need to setup WS_FTP Server 6.1 with SSH on a new hardware with Windows 2008. Unfortunately, there is no information available if or when WS_FTP Server will be supported on Windows 2008 - or at least it is hidden so I am unable to find the info.

I am very disappointed. Windows 2008 Server was around for a long time as a beta. They had time enough to get ready for RTM. But one cannot even find a news or a note about compatiblity with Windows 2008.

I hope this will change very soon or I will be forced to change to another product (even it's the own FTP service of Windows 2008).

Is this still an issue?

I have ws_ftp server installed on a old XP-machine used as a "server", now we're upgrading the whole domain with new servers, running 2008x64, and at the same time the xp-machine decided to stop co-operating. I therefore have to move the ftp_server to one of the 2008s which i haven't even begun doing since i'm also stuck with extracting the passwords from the old installation.

I'm not a happy kitten at the moment.
