Instructions
Step 1
Having installed an FTP server, you can conveniently exchange files with each other. At the same time, the configuration of most of the servers available for Windows is very simple. They differ among themselves, first of all, in capabilities and reliability. One of the most convenient servers is Serv-U, which you need to download from the official site.
Step 2

Step 3
The questions of the program follow the steps, there is nothing complicated about them. In the paragraph about Domain name, you can specify the value "Local", in the paragraph about IP Address, you can not specify anything. In the Anonimous home directory item, you need to specify the path to the shared folder where you plan to put files for public access.
Step 4
After completing the settings, the main window will open, where you will then need to enter the item on the "Settings" panel and set the necessary parameters for the server. The launch domain (along with the folder) was already created during installation. If you wish, you can always add a new one using the Wizard item. Also in the settings, you can enable items that are responsible for setting restrictions, for example, on the maximum speed, or the maximum number of users on the server.
Step 5
Next, you need to create an account. To do this, in the settings, select the "Users" item and the "New user" command, after which the account creation wizard will be launched.
