Please recommend an intuitive and 'lite' FTP Server

Many moons ago I used to use BulletProof FTP server but it seems that it is no longer freeware (Which I think it was).
What free solution do you guys recommend that are both resource light, intuitive and fairly quick to setup.

Have used Filezilla in the past, both server and client.

Ah.... back in the day I used Serv-U and BulletProof, pretty sure both were shareware rather than freeware, but from memory had trials.

Just looked at the price now.... OUCH!

FileZilla seems the free option, BulletProof is also on a subscription based model. Personally Ubuntu’s inbuilt server does me quite nicely.

Cheers, I'm going to pop Linux on a few other machines but my main one will be Win10.

+1 for FileZilla, been using it for years for various purposes at work.

Cheers folks, I've installed FileZilla and got it configured in a few minutes. Works fine and dandy.

Just wondering if there is any way to increase the size of the font in the log window? On my 1080p monitor it's fine but a little small on my preferred 1600p one.

Windows 10 runs OpenSSH natively and so you can host an SFTP server
