FreeFTPd is a very small application that includes all the capabilities for being a good FTP/FTPS/SFTP server.
Users can manage files and folders over the FTP server as they were working on local PCs. Remote access is enabled for TCP/IP network systems, i.e. like Internet connections.
The application allows user to encrypt data in strong mode to give security even when working over not too secure networks.
This program is able to work on any NT based operating system that it is later than Windows NT 4.0. PCs based on WinNT will accept this small program as a very handy FTP server application.
User can set listen address for all interfaces, for a fixed IP address or selectively for only local hosts. Also, the numbers of connections can be selected to a fixed number or set it to unlimited number of connections.
The application also enables the user to select local files as greeting and goodbye messages, as well as the FTP root directory in the local PC.
Users can also determine IP addresses that will be allowed or refused.

Perfect for little client app or something similar. However, I don't know how it behaves for a heavy production need.
For testing, I built a Java app with the Jcraft SFTP lib. I managed to get/put files, make directories, and other basic stuff.
