Conclusion:

• Windows provides FTP server service through IIS (Internet Information Services), which is relatively easy to manage.
• Windows also provides a command line client FTP program. If you are interested in client programs with graphical user interface, there are a number of shareware available on the Interface.
• You should be careful about running your FTP server with anonymous option turned on. Anonymous option allows anyone on the Internet to come to your server and take files away from FTP directory.
