Huh? What version of Windows are we talking about???

Both the Windows machines on my desktop are running a
built-in ftp server. One is XP Pro, and the other is Vista
Enterprise Edition.

The ftp server is not installed by default, but it is
included in the optional components, for Windows 2000
Workstation, XP Pro and Vista Business/Enterprise. Go to
Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Windows Optional
Features, and look under Internet Information Services. The
ftp server will be first item on the list.

You can certainly ftp from the host to the ftp server in
Windows - I've done it. No special configuration is required
on Windows, it just works. Obviously you need something to
act as an ftp client on the host (such as 'ftp' under Open MVS).

The ftp server for Windows 98 had to be downloaded separately
from microsoft.com, but I hope no-one is still running Win98
:-). NT 4.0 I can't remember - but again, NT 4 is long out of
support by Microsoft.

Hope it helps,
Andrew

It is? I didn't know that because I only use Windows (XP) at work, and
desktop services did not install any kind of ftp servicer. So I
stupidity assumed it was only on the server version of Windows. Thanks
for the correction!
