Running a Windows FTP server

[opticalsimulation]

Anyone have a link to server software or know if there is anything resident within windows that will host FTP services?

bulletproof ftp server, raiden ftp to name a few; just do a google search on these. i think windows does have one; but might not be as full of features

I use bulletproof ftp server. I would stay away from Microsoft FTP because it maybe more integrated into the OS then you really want. A separate program has its own users and what not.

I use GuildFTP. It's free and pretty easy to set up.

Same here, got no complaints with it.

I've heard Serv-U is another good one.

Generally I want an FTP server that uses the local system users, because then you can set rights on the files with normal filesystem ACLs. If you use a FTP server that has it's own set of users and rights you've doubled the account maintenance.
