Baby FTP Server is a basic FTP server that allows only anonymous access. It supports most RFC959 FTP commands, as well as PASV and non-PASV mode. You can configure the home directory and set permissions for download/upload/rename/delete/create directory.

marcoc, not ftp, web based only.
Webfork, HFS does provide upload features...
The same autor has other FTP server free and with more features: Quick 'n Easy FTP Server Lite

Positives: Simple and easy way to transfer files fast between machines. I was able to connect two computers that wouldn't show up under Network Neighborhood. Also, FTP generally transfers files faster than regular Windows networking.
Negatives: the program didn't seem to like files with odd characters or long filenames. ONLY allows anonymous login so not flexible for more than a few users or one-way transfers.
Alternatives: I also recommend HFS (http://portablefreeware.com/?id=602, as great Web server program (but lacks in ability to upload). Filezilla Server (filezilla.sf.net) is much more indepth and powerful but not portable.
Although a great program to transfer a few files over the network, this program failed when transferring very large (over a gig) files over a network. I recommend instead Filezilla Server included in XAMPP (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1069.
