FTP Server on XP

[Candace Sparks]

We are trying to setup one of our XP Pro workstations to be FTP Server, not
sure where to start. Are there step by step instructions anywhere, that are
easy to follow?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Try Filezilla. It's open source and pretty straight forward. The
download and instructions are here:

Good Luck,

I'm not sure is the FTP server is included with the IIS version included
with XP, but if it is, don't use it. It's crap.

I use Ipswitch WS_FTP Server with Windows Server 2003, but to be honest, I'm
not a massive fan of its interface. Still it's better then the IIS one.
The best one I've used was the trial of Globalscape Secure FTP Server, but
when the trial ran out we realised how much it cost. Far too expensive!

To add to this.....FileZilla server is pretty decent, and the FileZilla
client is arguably the best ftp client around.

The number 2 reason to use them is they are both completely free.
