Are you using Windows XP Home Edition ?
If so then you do not have Internet Information Server and thus you cannot
install the FTP server. In which case you have 2 options.
1. Upgrade (by buying) to Windows XP Professional
2. Use/Purchase a third party FTP server that will install on Windows XP
Home Edition.
