Good FTP software for server side.

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

We are looking at setting up an actual FTP server here for remote back ups of customer data. Just local companies that have accounts with us. We had a guy pitch the idea to these businesses and I would say 75% of responses said they would do online back ups if they could talk to a local guy.

So long story short is, I was wondering who is doing this, and what software y'all would recommend?

Thanks guys. It will be a Windows based server. Server 2008 prolly.

Hey, that was my idea.. hahahah

WS_FTP Server is a cost
Filezilla server is free and good choice
Server 2008 has a built in ftp server

I will d/l Server 2008 tonight. Some guys suggested using DPM or something.

I will check it out. Thanks T4rg3T.

Just don't setup a typical ftp server if you go that route, setup up a sftp which is more secure.

I dunno how popular it is, as it was in place when I started back at ACS, but we use Gene6 FTP Server, and I actually like it a lot: http://www.g6ftpserver.com/
