Can anyone help me out? I'm looking for a freeware (or close to it) FTP server software for a PM 7200/90. Currently I'm using CrushFTP which is only $25US, but I'm wondering if I can go lower (It's also java so it working with it is kind of slow, but it does work nicely). I've been searching but haven't found anything. even if it's something discontinued, that someone might have laying around I'll take it. I'm not looking for anything fancy. I just need something to use so I can update my HTTP (ie web site) server with. I'm actually kinda surprised I have found anything since my HTTP server (macc http) and mail server (SIMS) were both freeware.

Also I'm wondering if this is something I could do with Apple Remote Access (I've been looking through the docs, but it doesn't clarify for me if I could use for my needs or not)

Thank you legionaire, I might try this, but it's lacking some of the things I need. I'm sure I could get it to work, but it's limited choices in permissions area bothers me. But thank you just the same. Like I said I'll give it a shot when I have the chance.

However there is one thing that scares me. The author felt it was nessacary to use a DOS script to launch it on a PC. I grant that it was done in '99, but technically speaking, it shouldn't need DOS to run. That's one thing I like about CrushFTP is that it truley does stay solely java.

And in case you're wondering, I'm at school right now, hence why I was looking @ the PC version. :-)

Does anyone else have some suggestion(s)?
