FTP server

[Byte 2.0]

Looking for an easy to use Freeware FTP server to run on my win98.

I mainly want to be able to access my home PC from work.

I can think of one,War FTP (http://www.jgaa.com/software/warftpd/), but have you also looked at PC Anywhere? HTH

I have PC anywhere and Lap Link Pro, they work good, but i am also thinking of using this to allow my GF or friends to maybe download as well. So I don't want to use thoses programs. Good Idea though.


Also a webpage server would be nice too if there is a easy to use free one.

I will look into War FTP

Hi byte,

If you are going to do all that, have you considered dual booting with linux and running FTP/server software that comes with it (eg. Apache)? Just thought I'd share another option. HTH

I found one I love.

Xitani found it at www.downloads.com and it is FREEWARE it is great for my needs. Thanks for the other ideas, I tried the War FTP never got it working right. Well the server was working, i just didn't figure out how to share the files i wanted with it.

I may have spoke to soon. looks like it works great on my network. But ppl can't access it from the web.

Looks like more research for me

In my opinion, by far the best is WSFTP. It can be downloaded from various sites and comes in various versions, both "freeware" and "shareware"

I use War FTP and have had no problems. My laptop from work will not file share on my home network so I use War locally to share files as well as.
