Cool, glad to hear that it is working out well for you. As for running it
as a service, you could always try using something like
FireDaemon[www.firedaemon.com] to make GuildFTP run as a service. According
to the FAQ on the website this is how you can set it up to always start in
the system tray.

6. How do you launch the server directly into the taskbar?
A. Well, it's tricky. This is how:
- Start the server
- Press ESC key to send it to the taskbar
- Right-click the icon in the tray
- Select Exit / Click YES
As long as you always shut down the server when it's in the taskbar, it
should always launch the next time taskbar'd
Good luck,
John

John,
Thanks a lot!
GuildFTP is doing a great job and I have adopted it as a test.
Already much better than using the FTP Service.
GuildFTP does not come as a service? Should I then place a shortcut to
the .exe in the startup folder?

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.
John

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!
