I agree that lrp is good. GNU, free, and works. I've not heard
anything bad about it.

US. It understands passive/active ftp, real audio, real video, etc., and
can come in a VPN flavor for US residents. It does NAT with port
forwarding and can be set up in about 10 minutes.
I am not connected to mischler in any way. It is just one of those
excellent programs that cost very little and doesn't give my company or my
customer's companies any grief. It is a setup and forget unit.
