> Why not simply use FileZilla the Open source FTP Server I had no idea FileZilla offered an ftp Server app. I have been using Serv-U-ftp for many years, and am pleased with it (Pro version). But it ain't free (they used to have, and may still have, a free version. But it has some limitations I could not live with). I will have to check out FileZilla frp Server as another app to recommend to folks...
