I've built a Win2k VM that can share up to (21) ISOs, as well as mp3/ogg/video files, over a standard Win network share. Doing it in a VM is much easier than trying to jackleg it with Daemon tools or the like.

Only thing it chokes on is files >2GB; but again, it was written for Fat32.
Every other Win FTP client I've tried chokes on large files as well. If I have a 22GB file that I need transferred, it either gets copied to the USB 2.0 external drive, or " netcat " gets the job done.
