Serva is an easy-to-use server package supporting a variety of protocols including HTTP, FTP, TFTP client/server, DHCP and proxyDHCP (PXE service), BINL, DNS, SNTP and SYSLOG. Focused on the quick deployment of a stable platform running as many server protocol engines as possible, the program doesn't aim compete on with other server tools in terms of speed or security.
Serva also allows you to setup a server which you can use to install Windows over a network without Microsoft's RIS/WDS/WAIK suites.

of course !
I wish I could convince Adobe to offer a "nagware" version of (let say) "Photoshop"
What it's done here it's a bit childish; if the application is not good erase the thing, if it is good just accept it as it is, but do not distribute buggy ancient versions.

I partially share your opinion, but we're in minority. Recently I changed my mind about nag screens. I don't hate them anymore, as long as I can use the app for free. :)

I did it, I really think it does not make much sense linking here to a version that is so old... At the end, I rather have a nagscreen on the last version of this amazing piece of code than no nagscreen on an ancient version of it. Just my 2 cents.

@unixwolf you are using v1.5.0 when you should be using v2.1.0; I do not quite understand why they host such an old version here.
I use the FTP module (2.1.0) in a daily basis transferring files from Linux Virtual Machines to host PC and it works flawlessly.

The ftp service is a crock. This can't list remote directories, and crashes randomly. I didn't succeed in downloading anything from a NetBSD client.
Use "Baby FTP" instead if you want something that actually works.

This software is amazing!
I just net booted Ubuntu LTS 12.04 from my Windows PC in 5 minutes,
but I had to download the current version (2.1) from Serva's site.
The one here does not support net booting Linux distros.

Wow! Useful and simple to use program in a tiny package. Playing around with this now. Great for testing web sites quickly. Great job!
V1.5.0
I registered just to comment this. Should one use tftpd instead? The term is searchable though it seems very generic, in case this URL isn't allowed: https://pjo2.github.io/tftpd64/
The program looks very similar but I've been using this since the XP days. It doesn't do http but does everything else. DNS and Syslog aren't enabled by default so they aren't in the screenshot. I use HFS for well, http file severing. I can say that I have had issues setting it up but I've never read the docs but once I get my config done, I'm done. I've used it for PXE and when those devices just need a tfpt target for firmware updates.
I might submit this program later. (I'm at work and I'm lazy)
