NetPresenz, written by Peter N. Lewis for Stairways Software Pty Ltd, is a World Wide Web and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server developed for use on the classic Mac OS. [1] The software was initially called FTPd but was rebranded NetPresenz. [2] In 1994 Network World stated that it was "by far the most common" FTP server application and server extension used on the Macintosh. [3] It is considered the most significant FTP daemon available for the Macintosh platform, with added Web and Gopher functionality. [4] [5] The server functioned on Mac OS 7, Mac OS 8, and Mac OS 9. [6]

Originally a shareware package, [2] NetPresenz was rendered obsolete by increasing functionality in the Mac OS and has been made freeware. [7]
