Do you want to turn your Windows 3.1, Windows 95 or Windows NT machine
into an FTP site?  Take a tip from the book "Setting Up An Internet
Site For Dummies":

"Several good shareware FTP server programs are available for Microsoft
Windows.  The one to trust is WFTPD by [Texas Imperial Software]"

Try WFTPD, by Texas Imperial Software (that's us).  A trial version
(with only minor restrictions) is available from
http://www.abol.com/texas/index.html .  The full version costs only $20
per licence, with big discounts for large volumes.

WFTPD is the only FTP server to be picked by PC Computing magazine as
one of their "Internet All-Stars Best 1001 Free Downloads From The Web",
and is in use at over 3000 sites (as of October 1996), with tens,
perhaps hundreds, of thousands of individual users. (see the July 1996
issue of PC Computing, or visit http://www.pccomputing.com for details)
To illustrate the quality of WFTPD, I might mention that this program
is in use at the following companies' premises:
Microsoft; ID Software (they wrote DOOM and Quake); Office Depot

WFTPD is also consistently the highest rated FTP server, with (for
example) 5 stars in the ZDNet Software library (http://www.zdnet.com),
5 cows at The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Software
(http://www.tucows.com) and 3.5 stars at the Stroud Consummate Winsock
Apps site (http://www.cwsapps.com).

Some of the new features in WFTPD:

o support for the most popular Unix 'ls' command-line switches - useful
  (even vital) if you want your site to be mirrored using standard
  software
o wildcard expansion inside path components - good news for you Xerox
  Docutech users!
o additional Win95 and NT 4.0 user-interface features
o activity monitor, allowing immediate disconnect of unruly users
o safety shutdown - waits till users have finished before closing WFTPD
  down
o sound alert, to inform you of users logging in or out
o may be installed as a service under Windows NT, and will not be
  automatically killed when you log out

These features have been in WFTPD for many versions now, and were
mostly introduced to the Windows FTP server market by WFTPD (space
prevents me from listing all features available):

Compatibility features:
o strict compliance with Internet RFCs 959 and 1123.
o extra FTP commands SIZE and MDTM supported
o multi-homed site support
o resume interrupted transfers
o support for non-standard ports
o works through most firewalls

Usability features:
o easy-to-read help file ("The first help file I read all the way
  through", as one user told me)
o intuitive yet powerful user interface, following Microsoft's
  Interface Guidelines
o configurable logging of all client actions, to screen and/or file
o customisable messages on login, logout, and change of directory
o all FTP responses can be customised/translated using resource editors

Security features:
o host/network-based acceptance/denial of login
o idle/hung connection timeout
o maximum user count
o "read-only" operating mode
o individual user rights on directories
o hidden operation - can be run invisibly
o author won't mention your company's name in adverts without asking
  your permission (a job security feature for you)

As the first standalone FTP server for Windows (and now for Windows 95
and NT), WFTPD has a long history of speed and stability.  As a fast,
stable FTP server, it is in place at major national and international
Internet Service Providers, phone service companies, software and
hardware manufacturers, tool shops, space agencies, Universities and
even Realtors' offices.  The author's writing style was so admired by
even his major competitors that some of them have felt compelled to
cut and paste from the WFTPD documentation into theirs.

Despite the author working only part time for much of this product's
development, most of WFTPD's features were first offered to Windows
users by WFTPD, and many are even now not offered by other FTP servers
for Windows.  The author now works full time on developing and
supporting WFTPD, another advantage that is not present on many other
Windows FTP servers.

Upgrade announcements will be sent out to all registered users of
current versions of WFTPD, at which point they may download and install
the new version for free.  The price of the licence for WFTPD includes
the first year's maintenance and upgrades.  If you are a registered
user and have not received your upgrade announcement a week after this
message is first sent out, please email me at alun@texis.com.
