Dual login, yes. Different ports - why? I don't understand that one.

Well, the resond for that is because dual logins would render the program useless.
The client needs to see a userlist and have the ability to send private messages to other users on the server.
If people are logged on with dual logins, you wouldn't know what user to send a message to.

There for the server would have to listen on two ports, one for wodSSH (the component used by the client to do Users Online listnings, private messages and such) and the other port for filetransfer.

That way one could seperate the two and only list the wodSSH online clients.

I guess that's pretty much like an FTP server using so called DataPorts (sending data through a port range to the client, like glftpd for an example).

So, as I see it, I'll be forced to do dual logins, dual ports for it to work with the wod components.
