Windows and TCP/IP for Internet Access

WFTPD
(FTP server)

Comment: I had not imagined I would want or need to use my PC as an FTP server. However, I found this product very useful in transferring files between my PC and an IBM mainframe and in allowing colleagues to obtain files from my PC. WFTPD was invaluable while I was setting up a new PC at home. I used WFTPD on my PC at work to make it a server. I then accessed my work PC from home to FTP tens of megabytes of files to my home PC. WFTPD has many security features that let you restrict who can access your PC and what folders they can access once connected.
