Looking for a good HTTP server App

like it says looking for a good HTTP server app so I can run it on my PC ... anyone got a suggestion. I plan on running the HTTP on the same PC running an FTP atm.
 
Well nothing complex I currently have a host for my site but I have limited file transfer. SO I want to set up HTTP for large downloads on my site. I don't need a DNS so ...

I am using Win2K btw I should have mentioned that sorry 😛

I will try that program see how it is thanks guys

I would not recommend Apache on Windows though. If you're going to go Apache, use Linux instead.

why not? apache is apache, and works fine as a win32 app.

Here is a very helpful site for getting up and running, with some nice trimmed httpd.conf files. The default file is ~1100 lines or so, pretty dang intimidating for the beginner. These ones are a bit over 100 lines, and you can cut and paste the extra features in as you get to know them and use them. Just rename the default modno file to .bak or something, and grab stuff out of it IF you will use or need it.

Not had any problems myself, and given the amount of issues IIS suffers (worms etc), it may make better sense in the long run, dependant on what your doing.
 
Apache performs more poorly on Windows than on Linux. But then I forgot that this would probably be for personal usage so performance is not a huge issue.

Regardless, I still perfer IIS on a Windows platform and it will be fine if you keep up with the security updates. Apache has its shares of exploits as well.

As bolsen said, "Remember IIS lockdown utility is your friend!" Very true.

IF the user updates Apache has its share of exploits too, but there nowhere near as bad or regular.
