really cool ftp server that is free and easy to use is Faststream NETfile Server...they also make a client but i just use explorer or the mac os for that depending on what computer i'm on. just open up the ports you want to use and go...it's great...good luck...

-- "ftp is port 21 but how do you open a port?"

If you are using a router at home, you need to go to the router's Setup and forward port 21 to your FTP server's IP address. To find out your FTP server's local IP address, run 'ipconfig' on a DOS shell.
