Use SCP, not FTP. FTP == clear text password == bad

WinSCP is a good SCP client for Windows.

The other solution is to just setup a webserver, and people can download
these things.

I would like to be able to share BIG files with my family, so e-mail is out
of the question. Is there a reasonable way to setup a secure FTP server?

        In the beginning there was data. The data was without form and
null, and darkness was upon the face of the console; and the Spirit of
IBM was moving over the face of the market. And DEC said, "Let there
be registers"; and there were registers. And DEC saw that they
carried; and DEC separated the data from the instructions. DEC called
the data Stack, and the instructions they called Code. And there was
evening and there was morning, one interrupt.
