Windows 7 FTP Server Program for Manual Install Software

I use filezilla server as the FTP server. Very easy to setup and free.
A lot of people use GuildFTP which is what Mitel recommends but I don't find it as friendly.

I'm wondering that myself. I use FileZilla server myself. Run the server, run the MCD software installation .exe and install the SW files to a unique folder. Then in FileZilla I create an FTP user for each software release ("mcd4", "mcd6", "mcd6ur2", for example), and assign the home folder for each user account to the appropriate folder containing that release's software installation files.

Trying to use Filezilla Server. Laptop IP 192.168.1.9. When I try to connect to Filezilla Server using IP 192.168.1.9 I get "Error: connection to server lost". I can connect using localhost or 127.0.0.1. Laptop firewall is disabled. What could be causing this problem.
@ Lundah, what is the purpose of all the users?[ul]
[li]I setup 1 user, ftp with guest login[/li]
[li]Then I setup the shared folders for each SW load.[/li]
[li]When I need to use a specific load, I set that folder as the home directory and away I go.[/li]
[/ul]
@ed00926, Have you set up a directory?
[ul]
[li]Once you've set up a user, select the shared folders option and select a folder for the FTP directory.[/li]
[li]Allow the appropriate permissions and set as the home directory[/li]
[/ul]

Same end result as your method, just a different way of getting there. Setting up a separate user account for each version just means less messing around with home folder settings at zero dark thirty in the AM when I'm trying to get the job done.
