if you're going to run this on the box in your siggy, then be advised XP Pro has a 10concurrent connection limit.

To install FTP

Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components > Internet Information Services > FTP

The default port is 21, and the ftp location is

\INETPUB\FTPROOT

be advised, that the Windows XP Pro and 2000 Pro Editions of IIS are EXTREMELY limited.

the use Server Versions of Windows, not Workstations...

Windows 2000 Server, or .NET Server will do what you're asking. XP Pro and 2000 Pro are workstation OS's and they're limited.

cuteftp server is too halfassed :happy:

there's nothing really wrong w/ it, but still it's halfassed

plus it's hella expensive to register. bloody thing cost $400 and does same thing as many other free ftpd. it's ssl integration is nice, but no way in hell it's worth $400...at least to me
