I don't know of a server component, but a free windows FTP server is filezilla (<a href="http://filezilla-project.org/">http://filezilla-project.org/</a>)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 2:33 AM, Graeme Geldenhuys <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:graemeg.lists@gmail.com">graemeg.lists@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I looked at lnet and TurboPower IPro components and only saw FTP Client<br>
components. Anybody know where I could get a FTP Server component?<br>
<br>
Alternatively, a free or open-source FTP Server application that can run on<br>
Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 would also be great. Linux already has<br>
decent FTP servers available.<br>
<br>
Why?<br>
We transfer a lot of files (huge amounts of data) over our internal<br>
network. We tested performance between Win <-> Win and Win <-> Linux<br>
systems using Samba or MS Network Neighbourhood. We then tested Win -><br>
Linux using FTP and the transfer speeds where a LOT better!<br>
<br>
This speed increase makes sense because FTP is a specific file transfer<br>
protocol, where SMB is mixed bag: file sharing, printer sharing and lots of<br>
other communications we don't need.<br>
<br>
<br>
