Host a secure FTP server with 256-bit SSL and remote administration.
Ability FTP Server incorporates many advanced features, all of which are accessible through an easy to use interface. This flexible FTP server is designed to suit almost any setup and usually only takes a couple of minutes to configure. Offering power control over all accounts, the software also comes with advanced monitoring facilities to enable you to view and study all activity. The server also includes a Remote Admin facility which allows total control of the server from any location. Other features include 256-bit SSL encryption, anti-hammering and much more.
By far the least expensive of the ones I tested.
Simple to set up. Features include IP address or FQDN filtering
Works on Windows 8.1
Cons
annual renewal fee (minor)

best choice I've found
efficient, but lacking

Pros
I like software that is small, tight, effective, and efficient. This application really meets most of my criteria for software I purchase. It was very user friendly and worked like it was advertised.
Cons
I have to pass on this as an FTP server and try something else because it seems to have a problem with files over 4GB. Even on a Windows XP NTFS drive where large files are not a problem, I am not able to have anyone upload 4+GB files. The files will be incomplete and missing several hundred megabytes, but users with various FTP clients are unable to resume at that point.

Its Great!

Pros
It worked for a couple of days.
Cons
I bought the server so I could do backups while travelling. Now the server crashes whenever I attempt to access it, nevermind actually downloading or uploading any info. Sometimes I get a logon screen or can see the directory before it crashes, usually it happens when I first try to access the server.
