A while back I created an ftp site for my IIS 7.5 server, and copied files to it that I wrote about in my blogs or programming section. My wife asked me if I could create a site for her where she could upload files and they'd automatically appear, so visitors could download them. Of course I told my wife I could create an ftp site for her that would do just what she was asking for. Unfortunately, that was the end of my ftp site.
I was unable to create an ftp site for my wife that was separate from my own. I.e, my IIS server let me create multiple ftp sites, but they all pointed to the same directory. There's an option for publishing an ftp site for a given web domain you already have on the IIS server, but it didn't look like it was what I wanted. Since I had already promised my wife an ftp site, I removed all my files from ftp.community-info.org and told my wife her ftp site was ready for her.
I recently purchased an Android tablet, and it has a file manager (Astro) that lets you access files on other computers in your network via sftp. So I found myself a freebie sftp server, Core FTP Server (available at http://coreftp.com/download.html) and created a an sftp folder on Serval. Andy, my Android tablet was able to connect immediately. Core FTP lets you restrict the user to a single directory, multiple directories, assign permissions, allows anonymous log in, etc. At the time I didn't even think about my old ftp site.
Today I was taking a look at the contents of my wwwroot folder and thought it would be nice to move some of my contents to an ftp site. Then I thought, why not an sftp site? One problem with that is Internet Explorer doesn't support sftp, but what browser does (on Windows)? I looked up sftp clients for Windows, and I found Filezilla; http://filezilla-project.org Now I can put my files on sftp.community-info.org and anybody can access them with filezilla, at sftp://sftp.community-info.org
