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.

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.
