[GreyHunter]

CuteFTP (http://www.globalscape.com/cuteftp/). It's OK, tis what I'm using, anyway.

I use WS_FTP95 LE (http://www.ftpplanet.com/download.htm). Fast, efficient, free and gets a job done.

Must you have a website to have a ftp server? I was trying to make one so my uncle can DL files from me, but I couldn't do it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

nah, u can run an FTP from your PC. you can use windows IIS (which i am totally unfamiliar with, but it comes included in winXP), or use bulletproof FTP server or servU FTP (the 2 i reccommend). both are pretty much no hassle and easy to setup.

No you have to have an FTP site in order to have someone download and upload stuff from/to you. If you have a router you might want to open port 21 since that is the port that is used for FTP traffic. Also if it doesn't work, make your server static.

I'll let Sushi fill you in on the more advanced FTP knowledge. I'm too tired and lazy to give them. Sorry about that. Well sush, dazzle him with some TCP/IP knowledge.:)

well, just so everybody in general knows, you're gonna have to open up port 21 anyway. the problem is that residential internet connections usually have a dynamic IP (in which case people who use your FTP won't know where the hell to connect every other day). so u either pay for a static IP, or you use a service like Dyn-DNS or no-ip.

Well, FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. What you want is Web Server. This requires other software and uses port 80 (HTTP)
