	I usually use FileZilla server (GPL) when I need a Windows FTP server, but I never needed an anonymous server before. I was not able to log on anonymously to FileZilla server. I created a user anonymous and unchecked the password box, but to no avail. If there is another trick to this and anyone knows it, post it and I will put in a link to FileZilla. I just didn't want to put a link to software that was going to end up frustrating people. Also, if someone does know of an Open Source Windows FTP server that works with anonymous login, please let me know what that is.

 I know some people will object to helping people in Windows. Even if it is to help them install FreeBSD. I just have to respectfully disagree and ask that you leave my instructions for those people up on the wiki. I also strongly dislike plugging proprietary software, and I would be happy to find anything to replace it.

-Already I'm confused by the FreeBSD Handbook.  It mentions that install sets can come from FTP, passive FTP, or proxy FTP.  But I don't understand the difference between FTP via http proxy vs plain old http byte serving.

	Wikis are great and this one has a lot of potential. I'd like to see all of the pages of the FreeBSD Handbook in here in an editable format. I started with this page because I need to install 10 FreeBSD servers and I don't want to burn 20 CDs to do it. I looked at the handbook, but it is light on details. I'll add them as I discover them.		Wikis are great and this one has a lot of potential. I'd like to see all of the pages of the FreeBSD Handbook in here in an editable format.
