I have a delphi service app that uses the ISC ftp server component and
I don't want to use Delphi anymore and I am planning on trying to get
ICS to compile with Lazarus on
win32.

Just wondering if anyone has it working with Laz and FPC?

I did find this, but it's kind of old:

Support was mostly merged back, newer releases (v5 or v6) worked out
of the box mostly. I stopped using ICS because there
was no SSL support for a long time.

I've heard that the newest series lacks support for FPC defines, and
goes back to hardcoding delphi version IFDEFs again. That makes
porting, while conceptually simple, a lot of work.

I usually use Synapse, but I have one project that uses the ICS FTP
server library and it's pretty stable and easy to work with.
Is there another FTP server lib that I don't know about that I could
use instead of the ICS one?

I know about the Indy one, but it's not very good at least from the
last time I looked at it.

I wish the third party devs like ICS start supporting FPC more.

After ICS I pretty much moved completely to Indy. I never have used
synapse, to me, it seemed too linux centric at the time.
