I heartily recommend War-FTPD as an FTP server for 95/NT. It very solid,
pretty easy to configure (you need at least _some_ idea of ftp—read the
AS/400 TCP/IP manual), and it's FREE—FREE—FREE, if you're not a government
agency (really!). You can get it by digging around at
<http://www.tucows.com> or <http://www.stroud.com> .
