FTP servers in Windows 2008

Hi,

I need to replace an older version of Serv-U that the current owners no longer support.  I've gotten used to the simple interface and would like something relatively simple to manage but certainly don't want to get a package that has known vulnerabilities.

What is your experience with the built-in FTP server Windows offers, vs other packages (free as well as commercial)?  Pros/cons?

Thanks much!

Hi David,

Does it have any known exploits?

Just answered the followup question with a google search.  Not much turned up on it.  Filezilla it is.  Thanks!

windows 2008 ftp doesn't have sftp support
you have to use nt accounts and virtual directories and ntfs rights etc

you will like filezilla
Wow.  Well I can see why, <sarcasm on> since sftp is such a new RFC. </sarcasm off>

Good to know.  Thanks, Richard!
