You can. My Windows XP is both FTP Server and WebServer used to receive data 
from z/OS and I use it to produce stats and audit reports. I also have a 
Windows Server 2008 in use for similar functions on another network.

You can use native FTP as supplied or use FileZilla as FTP server. For hosting 
Webpages, I use standard IIS and FrontPage (yes, I know it is old, blah, blah, 
blah).

True. Headhunters can tell you the same story.
