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,

I don't know of a server component, but a free windows FTP server is filezilla (http://filezilla-project.org/)

Synapse has a server component in the contributions. Indy also ships with a FTP server component, if I recall correctly.

Michael.

Ah, I forgot about Indy. I'll go take a look, thanks.

Ah, I didn't know that. I thought FileZilla was a client only. Thanks for the info.
