> ## High-Performance FTP Services For The MacOS
>
> We are pleased to announce Rumpus, Maxum Development's brand new,
> high-performance FTP server for the MacOS. Based on Maxum's RushHour
> TCP/IP implementation, Rumpus offers the performance and reliability
> of high-end workstations with the ease of use, security, and
> flexibility of the Macintosh.
>
> ### About Rumpus
>
> We had one goal for Rumpus 1.0... To make it the fastest and most
> stable FTP server for the MacOS, offering workstation levels of
> performance and reliability. Rumpus 1.0 shipped near the end of May,
> and includes:
>
>   * Simplified setup, with no need to configure AppleShare, File
> Sharing, or Users & Groups for simple anonymous FTP.
>   * Anonymous and/or secure server access, with separate security
> settings for anonymous vs. secure users.
>   * Automatic MacBinary and Binhex encoding.
>   * Complete logging, with separate anonymous and secure access
> logs, including anonymous user passwords.
>   * Up to 32 simultaneous connections.
>

>
> We already begun working on version 1.1, which will include more
> advanced features and will be a free upgrade for all Rumpus users. A
> "Pro" version of 1.1 is also in the works, and will offer more
> simultaneous connections and an improved security model to handle
> many more users than is possible with File Sharing.
>
> ### Open Transport Optimized
>
> Rumpus has been designed specifically for Open Transport, but Rumpus
> also supports MacTCP. Note that performance will be substantially
> better with Open Transport, and we recommend using it over MacTCP.
> In addition, in the current version of Rumpus (1.0b1), we have had
> reports of instability with Rumpus running on MacTCP. We are looking
> into possible causes for these failures and will address them in
> version 1.0b2.
>
> ### Existing Maxum Customers...
>
> Rumpus will be included in the MaxumPack, our bundle of essential
> Web server tools, so if you own a MaxumPack, you will get Rumpus
> free. Rumpus will also be available at a discount to customers with
> other Maxum products. We'll send more information on both of these
> programs in the monthly Maxum E-Mail Newsletter.
>
> ### Why An FTP Server?
>
> While the World Wide Web continues to garner the lion's share of the
> attention focused on the Internet, FTP remains the service of choice
> for transferring large amounts of data. In addition to performing
> file transfers, FTP is also the most popular method of uploading and
> maintaining Web content on Internet servers.
>
> Choices in FTP server tools for Macintosh have, until now, been
> rather limited, and Macintosh Internet developers have had few
> options outside of using shareware. While shareware offerings have
> been full-featured, the Mac has had no FTP server with workstation-
> like performance and reliability. With Rumpus, Maxum is filling this
> gap with a reliable, high-performance solution to FTP services. This
> commercial quality is complimented by the ease of use you expect
> from your Macintosh and a reasonable price.

Rumpus 1.0 appears to have shipped near the end of 1997 May.
Rumpus 2.0 introduced separate Standard and Pro editions.

> ### New In Version 2
>
>   * Mac OS X Native Operation \- Rumpus 2.0 includes both "Carbon"
> and "Classic" versions allowing you to choose to run any modern
> version of the Mac OS on your server.
>   * Upload Notices \- When new files are uploaded to the server,
> Rumpus can now notify the administrator (or anyone else) by sending
> an e-mail or take other action by executing an AppleScript. Upload
> Notices can be assigned to individual user accounts, allowing
> different actions to be taken based on who uploaded the file.
>   * Folder Sets \- Rumpus' built-in security mechanism has been
> extended to allow administrators to set access privileges to
> individual folders on the server. A "Folder Set" can be created that
> increases or restricts user access rights, then quickly be applied
> to any number of individual user accounts.
>   * User Account Limits \- User access can now be restricted to a
> set transfer rate, by a quota defined by the ratio of uploads to
> downloads, and by simultaneous connections using a single user
> account. Setting a maximum transfer rate, for example, allows the
> Rumpus administrator to restrict bandwidth allocated to each user,
> ensuring even performance among all users.
>   * Direct HTTP User Account Management \- User accounts can now be
> managed remotely using Rumpus' stand-alone Web administration
> server. Rumpus will also still function as a CGI for use with
> popular Mac OS Web servers.
>   * Enhanced Security \- A user-selectable encryption key can now be
> used to secure the Rumpus user database, adding additional security,
> especially on servers running other applications in addition to
> Rumpus. Version 2.0 also includes all previous security updates to
> block known denial of service attacks.
>   * Setup Assistant \- A new setup assistant helps beginning FTP
> server administrators create their first anonymous and secure user
> accounts instantly so that FTP service can be enabled with just a
> couple of clicks.
>   * New Networking and Management Options \- Rumpus can now function
> on private networks with packet forwarding, even when the network
> uses dynamic domain name service. Improved server management allows
> for IP address-based access restrictions, better error and activity
> reporting and enhanced AppleEvent support with full transcript
> capabilities.

> ### New In Version 3
>
>   * Web File Manager \- Web browsers, the handy and popular clients
> that are often used for FTP, almost universally suffer from less-
> than-perfect FTP implementations. This can cause huge headaches for
> FTP server administrators that need to support a wide array of FTP
> clients. Rumpus 3.0 now provides file uploads, downloads and basic
> file management via HTTP (Web), in addition to FTP. All Rumpus-
> defined FTP user accounts and security settings are respected,
> making enabling Web file management as easy as checking the "Enable
> Web File Manager" checkbox.
>   * Improved OS X Support \- Rumpus 3.0 improves OS X file system
> compatibility, adding support for long filenames and paths, files
> larger than 2 GB, and customizable file permissions for uploaded
> files on a per-user-account basis. In addition, Rumpus now
> completely automates the single most difficult setup task for
> administrators, creating Unix scripts to automatically launch Rumpus
> at system startup time.
>   * Auto-Detection Of Hack Attempts \- Would-be hackers attempting
> to gain FTP access can now be automatically detected and forever
> blocked before they are even given the opportunity to log in. An
> easy-to-use interface allows Rumpus administrators to maintain a
> list of clients that should be denied FTP access, which is
> automatically updated when intruders are detected.
>   * Better File Recognition And Handling \- In Rumpus 3.0,
> administrators can now specify Suffix Mappings so that files of
> recognizable types can be saved to disk with the appropriate Mac OS
> Type and Creator codes. These codes are what allow Mac OS files to
> be associated with the applications that understand them. The same
> Suffix Mapping interface in Rumpus is also used to specify file
> content-types for the Web File Manager HTTP server.
>   * Simplified And Extended Administration \- Many other updates
> have been made, including the addition of account history
> information for each FTP user, extended FTP support, better warning
> and error messages to simplify troubleshooting, interface updates to
> streamline administration, multi-file upload notices, and numerous
> bug fixes and performance tweaks.

Unofficial Setup Notes for DL #1:

Re: Rumpus_Pro2.0.sit ?After installing setup the program by going to
"Define Users.." under "File" and add a new user and define folder to
share. Then, go to "Configuration.." and in the "Security" tab select
"Built-in Security". Serial number is inside the .sit file. To
register, go to "Validate Rumpus.." and enter Serial and Code. If the
first one doesn't work, try second. You may want to add the app to
your startup folder so it starts automatically.
