WAR FTP. You can't get much simplier than that ftp server.

I need to transfer large files (perhaps 10 megabytes) between my

FTP seems like a natural way to go. If I leave a FTP server running on
my workstation at home, then I can do what I need from the client's
machine. Most clients' machines will have a FTP client, and I can reach
my server at home through a domain name that maps to my dynamically
assigned IP address.
But I have not yet found a FTP server which I can install and run
without getting a Masters Degree in FTP server configuration. Well,
perhaps I exaggerate. But since my needs are simple I dream of finding
a FTP server which is as simple to configure as my need.
I need one userid/password which can access one directory on my
workstation -- that's all. Clear text is good enough; encryption not
needed. Ideally I should be able to complete the configuration of my
FTP server by telling it just those two things: 1. the userid/password;
2. the directory.
But I do not yet know of a FTP server which I can install without having
to understand several issues faced by the administrator of an
enterprise-scale FTP server. The installations of the FTP servers which
I have tried so far (wu-ftpd and vsftpd on Linux and FileZilla on
Windows) require that I know things that I don't know and probably will
never need to know -- except to tell these multi-featured FTP servers
that I don't need their features.
Does anybody know of such a truly simple FTP server?
I should acknowledge that my problem might be in the protocol I'm trying
to use. FTP, as fully specified, might be pretty fancy. A server such
as I need (perhaps implementing only: get, put, and ls) might not
qualify as a FTP server.
Thank you,
Rich Hammer
