Editorial Review of Home FTP Server
This freebie lets you set up an FTP server at home or for your business. It offers all the basics you'll need, including setting up individual accounts for those who want to log in, for monitoring file transfers, and for basic security. FTP is no longer the main way to download and upload files on the Internet, but FTP servers are still of some use. For example, if you've got a small business and want to be able to share files with customers or suppliers, or allow your employees to get important files.
This isn't a program for anyone unfamiliar with FTP. It provides no guidance or help about how to use it or set it up, and how to tell people to connect to it. It doesn't even have a way of checking your current IP address to give out to people to connect to it. You'll have to find that on your own.
Keep in mind that if you set up this FTP server at home, you may have problems when people try to connect to it from outside your home network. Your router, for example, may block inbound connections or have a built-in firewall, and a software firewall may block access as well. In addition, because your home IP address changes regularly, you will not be able to give out an IP address that can always be used to connect to your home server. So be prepared to do some troubleshooting.
Still, if you're already familiar with FTP, and are looking for a free basic FTP server, Home FTP Server is worth a try.
