I want to be able to synchronise a directory on a Wndows 2000 server froma
remote FTP location. Can anybody recommend any FTP client software suitable
to install on a server for this purpose.

remember that FTP sends username/password in CLEAR TEXT. So, are you really
sure you want to do this?

What Mark said. Seems like there would be many more secure ways than FTP.
If you don't need the synchronization to be automatic, some kind of web
storage facility would be ideal. I haven't looked at these in a while, but
there must be many. Your ISP probably allows you to park a certain amount
of data on their server, but there must be many more secure data storage
facilities available for a small monthly charge.

If you decide to go with FTP, you don't need any freeware - Windows 2000
Server comes with FTP Server, although it's probably not installed by
default.

Windows includes an FTP client. Admittedly, it's fairly primitive...

Well-known 3rd party FTP clients include Ipswitch and CuteFTP.

If you're worried about security, some FTP servers and clients support
SSL encryption.
