You're trying to download the FTP client rather than the server. You
want FileZilla_Server_0_9_5.exe .

Don't worry too much about finding the closest mirror. Sometime I
find they are the slowest and I can get it much faster from a site
halfway around the world. I also find that I need to disable popup
stoppers and enable javascript for some download pages (not
necessarily this one) to work.

Try one of these:

http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/source...rver_0_9_5.exe

http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/s...rver_0_9_5.exe

http://cogent.dl.sourceforge.net/sou...rver_0_9_5.exe

http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/sour...rver_0_9_5.exe

Nil,

Thanks for the guidance again.

I'll try your download sites. (I *did* try the middle two (i.e.,
internap & cogent) for the client. Will go back again and try the server
download.

Thanks again !

Nil,

The umn site worked perfectly and quickly on the 1st attempt !

Thanks again all you folks for the assistance.

I use argosofts free ftp server... works well, if a bit tricky to
figure out :( (username/no users etc).. play with it and it works like
a charm once you have it set up the way you want it to :)

Dear Smithcr ( Christine or Charlie Smith ??? :))) )

Thanks for the guidance. I'll try to locate this Argosoft server on the
net.
