Do you wish to configure and maintain your own ftp server, or use a service on someone else's server?

If you wish to maintain your own, what is the operating system for your server?
I recommend you try CesarFTP (http://www.cesarftp.org). Its very straightforward and powerful. You basically go to a control panel and add users and point a / directory to a real directory. Set permissions, and you're done.
"open free ftp server for small grp of people" I really think that he means that he need a free ftp account not a ftp client :)

But I think you should check more free ftp hosting offers before picking one. For this I recommand this link:
http://www.tophosts.com 

There you will find a list with most rated free ftp hosting services.

Also if this helps you do I get a picture with you in place of that points :) ?

Why don't you try and host one yourself?
Hosting a web server or a ftp one means :
1) 24/7 internet connection, at least ADSL
2) a very powerful server t hat cost 1500-2000$
3) an expert to maintaince it.

So i guess khushi2003 don't find this reasonable.

I Am looking for free FTP account ....i looked there Raven but could not .
khushi2003, have you saw what http://www.tripod.lycos.com offer? Do you like that ?

Yours,

I think what khushi2003 wants is a free way to set up an ftp server (multiple logins), not a free web hosting account that has a single ftp access.

I've looked around, but wasn't able to find any free ftp servers, but found this one, that isn't free, but seems inexpensive:

Well, I still would go with setting up the FTP server by yourself. You do not need any expensive things as this is just a small group. I used to run mines on my desktop and a 128k connection (even business 56k will work). So, just get the software to your desktop, connect it to the internet, and you're fine. As of the simplicity, it is simple enough you just have to be competent to do it. Eg. know a little more than the average user about the internet.

If you wil try your one ftp server try Vermillion FTPd  http://www.arcanesoft.com/
It is the most easyest ftp server.
I'm using it elso and its stable en realtime log.


Sorry for my bad english.
Eftp.org has a nice application with key encryption and as long as it is not commercial it is completely free and you can have upto 100 logons, the client side is pretty basic but the server applications is verry nice, I suggest it for anyone that wants to set up a secure ftp site on a microsoft platform.

I am working on a unix server right now, send me an email in a couple of weeks if you are still in need of ftp space and I will see what I can do. I only have 120gig available for dl's and I wont allow any keygens or cracks, however I do allow ISO files without serials....
there is one place that will grant you 20mb of free secure shell account.

click on telnet://sdf-eu.org

type in new for new username, from there Im not sure about the unix line for commands.


GoodLuck!
hei,
    I pathed through ur thoughts, i created one account for me @ sdf-edu.org , but i don't know is it? possible to create ftp account on that for me without wasting bugs. anyway thank for ur links. pls help me if it's possible to use without paid.  And also i want to know about is it possible to create our own mail servers to serve group of peoples by free.
Hi,

Why using a commercial solution, when you can get one that's free (GNU license) ? Only tryed it on Windows. Works great and it's pretty easy to configure. What's more my boss is happy to get "free for commercial use" software... Can get it for almost all existing OS...

FileZilla : http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ 

Enjoy !
Hi, ftp server in Linux:
Best choice is proftpd.
Other choice, may be vsftpd, wu-ftpd.
Thanks!!!

Nilesh.
I personally recommend http://directransfer.net 
Advantages:

direct ftp to ftp transfers
ftp hosting with generated http links for file and image ready to go hosting solutions
