I set one up using Windows 2000 Pro - using the built in Win2K ftp server.

The set-up is fairly simple in this case and you can use IE to connect.

Here's a link to Win2K's ftp set-up:

If you don't have 2000 Pro or XP Pro, you will need separate ftp server software.

I am not sure who is best, but I've seen Cute FTP around.....

http://www.coreftp.com/ I have been using this for awhile now and it works great.

I like the looks of that, lorne.

What about host software? Any ideas off the top of your head?

Pretty good indeed.. And when the trial period's over, it still works but as another version (still good anyways)

You mean buy it.. lol .. I get your point, but if it still works even though it supports max of 2 usernames afterwards, its still better than some of the other ftp server programs

Just installed the Serv-U ftp server.

This was considerably easier than the built in Win2k Pro FTP server.

Worked perfect the first time.

Connected using IE 6.

Thanks for the info, just-

Larry, try this one if you want, it is simple and easy to set-up. Thank you just-

BTW, I looked for coreftp server, and it says a beta will be available soon, but nothing right now.

[lorne]

Lucky i got the server version while i did, they had beta posted for it a few weeks ago. Works flawlessly

Well, if you happen to have the original .exe, and if you don't mind emailing it to me, I would appreciate it.

If not, no bigg-e, serve-u ftp seems to be working out well right now.

Thanks-

[raptors892004]

Can I ask for the original .exe too, lorne? If you don't mind, please send it to me when you can.. Thanks
