Document aliasing
Allows you to create an alias for a directory, so that all directories do not have to be under the document root. Also allows you to move directory locations, and not have to change the HTML links in your documents.

IP Address security (pop up)
Allows you to restrict access to specified URLs based on the request client's IP address.

Username/password security
Similar to IP Address security, but allows you to require a username and password to access specified URLs. See IP Address security above and User/Group authenticaton below.

User and Group authentication
Used in conjunction with Username/password security. Allows you to create users and groups that can then be used as remote admin users, or for requiring authentication to protected resources.

Remote administration (pop up)
Currently allows you to start, stop, or restart the HTTP server and the FTP server remotely via a browser.

Error customization (pop up)
Allows you to redirect error responses to a user provided HTML document, rather than using the default error message.

Configurable MIME types (pop up)
Allows the ability to add and modify MIME types. Several well known types are previously defined and required.

Directory browsing (pop up)
If directory browsing is enabled, it automatically creates directory listings for any directory, under the virtual root, where a default document cannot be found.

Anonymous FTP
Allows anonymous FTP access to the specified home directory.

Username/password FTP with home directory (pop up)
Allows individual user account home directories that requires authentication.

Configurable thread cache pool
Allows you to control the maximum number of threads the HTTP server will use. Also allows you to tune the number of threads that are in a thread cache that can be re-used. This eliminates the overhead of create and destroy threads for each request.
