Seeing as how this area seemed to be the closest to servers, i figured I would post this here. If it needs to be moved, go for it.

Anywho...

I snagged a computer from university surplus. 1gb ram, P4, gig Ethernet card, and a small hard drive which i plan on replacing with a fatty of my own (probably 750gb or whatever I can get at a good price). Not bad for $10 if you ask me. I want to set up a small file server for my/a couple close friend's usage. If It gets big, I may open it up to others. Basically, I'm looking for a way for us to share stuff. My question is, what should I use as my FTP client? I figured I would hop on Filezilla server and client because it is free and I have some experience with it. Is that my best option for free software? Anyone out there using it and have some suggestions for me?
 
set up OpenFiler and use https through a web interface no need for client software, just use IE, Firefox etc.
 
If you're going to do it over an encrypted connection you may as well just set up a ssh daemon and use scp/winscp, etc
