Filezilla should do the trick for a freestanding and free FTP server. I've used
it a lot as an FTP client, and it is very good. Runs on Windows 95 and up.
Unless I misunderstand how the world operates, there are two choices for
passwordable HTML server operation. I ***think*** one can FTP into a Filezilla
server from a browser using
ftp://etc . And Filezilla will ask for a password.
I have not tried it myself. If this does not work, then the only other option
may be full-blown Apache.
To keep things simple on your end, you can mandate that the client user(s) of
your FTP service must use Filezilla as a client to communicate with your
Filezilla server. That way, if FTPee-ing to a Filezilla server from a browser
client does not work, you have a viable solution with minimal work on your part.
And a Filezilla client is remarkably easy to use on a repetitive basis once it
is set up with the FTP server name, user name, and user password. The latter
are also easy, but they need to be done only once... Ben Myers
