FTP server

[Bunit]

Hello!! I need a program which can turn my computer into an FTP server. It
should be freeware preferably and not with a lot of interfaces and icons
there and then...


any ideas?
thanksss!

One option is to setup a Secure Shell [SSH] server and use a program like
WinSCP to access files on the server machine.

SSH is completely encrypted and very safe particularly if you use
private/public key pairs protected by a strong password for authentication.

If your running XP Pro then you could setup IIS and use its FTP server
function. SSH is more secure however.
