mTCP FTPSrv is an FTP server for DOS that is designed to run well on just about any machine that runs DOS. That includes everything from a PCjr running DOS 3.3 to the latest virtual machines running whatever version of DOS you have installed. Features include:

• Support for up to 10 concurrent clients
• PORT and PASSIVE modes
• Support for working with home firewalls to enable external clients to get through the firewall
• Support for all of the standard raw FTP commands
• Anonymous FTP support
• "Sandboxes" for restricting users to parts of the directory hierarchy
• A permission scheme for managing access to commands that can change the filesystem
• Compatibility with a wide range of FTP clients

Here is a screen shot of the FTP server running under DOSBox:

Why would anybody want to use an FTP server?

• Moving files back and forth to an old PC is faster easier over the network than it is using floppy disks.
• You can use a modern FTP client with a GUI on your newer machines to talk to the DOS machine.
• The FTP server provides logging and access control to your files.
• Run an "old school" shareware site right from your "old school" hardware!
