What program? Actually, there are a ton of freeware FTP servers available for Win95 (check out Tucows). I use War-FTPD, and any would probably work fine. >FWIW, I ftp to my freebsd box from win95 often. Hit the silly button in >the corner, click on run and type 'ftp' in there.

I *still* haven't gotten this working. The machines connect, then just sit there forever with "socket connected.. waiting for welcome message." Something is misconfigured in my BSD setup. My main need though will be to access files from my Win95 machine though, rather than my BSD machine. Win95 has very little use for Unix files :-) Unix is much more flexible and can do a lot with DOS/Win stuff (emulators included) as well as using it to download new packages and other downloaded Gzip'd Unix software from my main machine.
