FTP Server Software

I'm about to set up an FTP server here at work for employees to be able to use from outside the company.

What software (other than the built in IIS FTP capabilities) has anyone used.

I've been looking into Serv-U. I've used that before, very easy to set up.

Opinions?
 
Whatever you do, make it secure. Remember, FTP transmits all data in plain text, so anyone pretty much can grab the password, especially on a wireless network. Look at some kind of secure FTP if possible.

Windows Server 2003

I noticed Serv-U actually has "Serv-U Secure" meant for secure FTP. It is only $99.95, I bet I can get management to sign off on that.

I'll try it out.
 
I'm in pretty much exactly the same boat. I've downloaded filezilla server and was going to use that. It seems like it has a solid set of security options, but TBH I have never run an ftp server before so I'm not sure how it stacks up. Its free though, so it seems like a good place to start.
 
I for the life of me can't get a FTP server to allow access outside of my network at home. I try my IP from school and it just hangs. I forwarded everything even left it at port 21 but still the router seems to be the issue. FTP servers aren't that hard to setup, I used to set one up when I was like 12 or 13! 🙁 Stupid router

Could it be that your ISP is blocking access to the default ftp port?

Does it get as far as the directory listing and then hangs?
