   Really neat, huh.  I don't have any other FTP client app.  I use it to even   
   update my default webpage provided by my ISP.

   Same here, though I stuffed up the networking on my Win 8.1 PC.  I dunno how   
   and can't seem to fix it.  No hassles as all the other real and virtual PCs   
   are still able network sensibly.   
      
   I use a binkD mailer on it (configured as a point system), as a gate on what I   
   call a network of Stargates.  Every morning it catches 9/10ths of a gig of   
   backup files from three Fido nodes, that just magically appear at its   
   Stargate.  :)   
      
   Which reminds me: my Win 8.1 PC is a media source, automatically available to   
   my media player thingie but only as a DLNA-compatible source not via   
   networking.  Apparently Win 7.xx can easily be enabled as a media source   
   too... well, according to a how-to doc I saw on-line someplace.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
