FileZilla Server is a free, open source FTP server for Microsoft Windows. Its source code is hosted on SourceForge.net.

[edit] Features

Filezilla Server supports FTP and FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS). It includes numerous functionalities, including:

Upload and download bandwidth limits
Compression
Encryption with SSL/TLS (for FTPS)
Message log (for debugging and real-time traffic information)
Limit access to internal LAN traffic or external internet traffic only

A user connections manager in FileZilla Server — displayed along the bottom of the window — allows the administrator to view currently connected users and their uploads/downloads. At present, there are two operations the owner of the server can do to those transfers — to "kill" the client session or to "ban" the user's IP address. This manager shows the real-time status of each active file transfer.
