Hi,

I looked at lnet and TurboPower IPro components and only saw FTP Client
components. Anybody know where I could get a FTP Server component?

Alternatively, a free or open-source FTP Server application that can run on
Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 would also be great. Linux already has
decent FTP servers available.

Why?
We transfer a lot of files (huge amounts of data) over our internal
network. We tested performance between Win <-> Win and Win <-> Linux
systems using Samba or MS Network Neighbourhood. We then tested Win ->
Linux using FTP and the transfer speeds where a LOT better!

This speed increase makes sense because FTP is a specific file transfer
protocol, where SMB is mixed bag: file sharing, printer sharing and lots of
other communications we don't need.


Regards,
