The simplest possible Windows FTP server

http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/ftpdmin/ ftpdmin .... if all you need is to have a colleague send you a big file which doesn't fit in an email, this utility is for you.... just remember to start it with a root dir, because you don't want to give access to your whole hard drive.... you can operate on it using the windows built-in fto client, and just hit ENTER when asked for username and password...
