An alternative, good, free FTP server for windows is FileZilla. Easy to setup, easy to use.

Hahahaha nice one Garp, i've actually already been fighting with that as well (i've tried loads on the market free and , for almost the same reasons... Everything looked like it worked but didnt. I don't just want FTP i want something half secure for when i'm at home basically. Filezilla was a nightmare to try and set up as well it seems. I just feel stupid

Anyway after finding freeSSHd it suits what i need a free secure FTP but also allows me to SSH into my server. Well it should, maybe not quite yet

I might end up using both anyway freeSSHd just for my SSH needs. God knows what i want right now, just something that works to be fair!

You could always do it Linux stylé and install Cygwin and opensshd.. good luck with that if you do though, no fancy GUI for setting it up

Yeah, i hope to god you're joking Garp

Well, good news, everything seems to be working now, but i didn't really do anything to fix it. I just reinstalled and went from the beginning again, and seem to have touched lucky...

How do i utilise the keys properly, I've made new keys on the server, and then copied them over to my client PC, converted them with puttygen, and used them in my connecting but it doesn't like them =/. I don't plan to use them except form my connection which has pretty nice privileges that I'd rather were a pain to get hold of
