Well, I don't usually run FTPD on windows servers. The FTP protocol( in
various implementations) has been plagued with security problems. So when
ever possible I try to use SFTP in conjunction with SSH. Clear text
passwords are just bad. With that said, I too have been forced to use the
FTPD service included with IIS. It was not a fun experience. Any how, I
have used a product called GuildFTPD on production windows servers. Check
it out here, http://www.guildftpd.com/ . It is free software and all that
jazz. The admin interface is easy to use. It has worked great for me in
the past. Also, for a great(Free) multithreaded FTP client for windows you
may want to check out LeechFTP
http://stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~jdebis/leechftp/downloads.html . Although
development has frozen it is still my favorite windows FTP client. Hope that
helps.

Subject: What good free or inexpensive FTP server for NT 4/5 ?
I have been using the FTP service from MS and have come to really
dislike it, especially because it requires so much user, group and
policy setup + setting up IIS.
Is there a good FTP server out there which would allow me to set up FTP
sites in a simple manner?
MMC-Based a plus.
Thanks a lot for your help!
