I'm having problems to start wing ftp server on archlinux kernel 2.6+.
Installing works, but when i try to start to run the server i'm getting the following error:
./setup.sh: line 203: ./wftpserver: cannot execute binary file

What is the problem here, starting server by hand through /etc/rc.d/wsftp start doesn't work either

There are 32-bit version and 64-bit version, please make sure you have downloaded the right one.

Please make sure you have "execute permission" for wftpserver

Checked, having all the permissions, still "cannot execute binary file"

1. Please make sure you have downloaded the right installation package (try to install both 32-bit and 64-bit version).

2. chmod +x wftpserver

3. Use root to execute it.

I tried to install both the 32-bit and 64 bit version. Furthermore the user and group permissions are set to root and I am executing as root. Furthermore rwx is given to user and group. But nothing of this worked.

Your issue sounds strange, no body met this issue before, please tell me what's your Linux system and shell type?
I doubt this issue was related with shell system, normally you can use bash to execute command.
