run a simple, single-user ftp server instantly from the command line to enable easy file transfer between two machines. no installation required, fully portable executable for Windows and Linux.

- download the free swiss file knife base from sourceforge.
- unpack the tool using winzip or unzip.
- open the Windows Command Line or a Linux shell.

sfk ftpserv [-h[elp]] [-port=nport] [-rw] [-maxsize=n]

   The SFK Instant FTP Server for easy file transfer.

   default behaviour:
   * the CURRENT DIRECTORY is made accessible, without subdirs.
   * any kind of directory traversal (.., / etc.) is blocked.
   * just ONE CLIENT (browser etc.) can connect at a time.
   * after 30 seconds of inactivity, the connection is closed.

   options:
     -port=n     use other port than default, e.g. -port=10000.
     -port2=n    alternative port, used if first port fails.
                 use -port2=0 to disable alternative port.
     -pw=x       require primitive authentication, i.e. client
                 must provide password x to login. you may also
                 set an environment variable like:
                    SET SFK_FTP_PW=mypassword
     -rw         allow read+write access. default is readonly.
     -maxsize=n  increment size limit per file write to n mbytes.
     -timeout=n  set timeout to n seconds.
     -noclone    do not try to replicate time stamps on a file
                 transmission from an sfk ftp client.
     -verbose    list the transmitted ftp commands.
                 helpful to get more infos in case of errors.
     -quiet[=2]  print less or no status informations.
     -deep       ALLOW PATHS IN FILENAMES. for example, the client
                 may say "put the/sub/dir/document.txt".
     -run        allow client to execute system commands.
                 requires -pw option being set as well.
                 requires an sfk ftp client to run commands.
     -runpw=x    require authentication only for run commands.
                 can also be set via the environment:
                    SET SFK_FTP_RUNPW=mypassword

   NOTE: be aware that ANYONE may connect to your server.
         with -rw specified, ANYONE may also write large files.
         if this is a problem, do NOT use sfk ftpserv, but download
         and install a full-scale ftp server like filezilla.

   aliases:
      sfk sftserv ...  = the same as sfk ftpserv, but using port 2121.

   problems and solutions:
   if you try to login to the server using a regular ftp client, but
   you cannot connect and/or transfer files, then usually there is a
   firewall or network configuration incompatible to normal FTP.
   - if your ftp client provides a command "passive", then type that,
     press enter, and then try the usual commands like dir, get or put.
   - whenever possible, use the sfk ftp client to connect to an SFK FTP
     server. client and server will then use a different protocol (SFT)
     with which you often can transfer files even if normal FTP fails.
   - Windows Vista, Windows 7: the firewall may stop sfk to sfk file
     transfer on the default port 21, with error ECONNRESET, probably
     because sfk uses a different protocol. You then have to use a
     different port, e.g. -port=5000 or use Windows' "ftp" command.

   see also:
     -  type "sfk ftp" for the sfk ftp client. when it connects to an
        SFK FTP server, you get easier connectivity and more features.
     -  type "sfk httpserv -h" for the SFK Instant HTTP Server.
 

file transfer between windows and vmware linux

   the sfk ftpserv function was originally created to enable file transfer
   between a windows host and vmware guest OS, as I saw no other way
   to accomplish this. for detailed instructions, read on here.
