FTP is a lousy file transfer protocol anyhow. I (personally) would recommend installing a sshd as mentioned (you can use the cygwin one for windows). If you want file transfer, then use any of the supported file transfer (scp or sftp) modes; the file transfers are well encrypted, you can trivally arrange to tunnel your VNC session over it (with compression!) and best yet, get a *very* low bandwidth shell to run command line applications with. the client side is standard on most versions of unix, has supported clients for almost all platforms, and the puTTY free-beer windows clients are excellent.
