Two things come to mind.
First of all, osx is unix, there's an ftp server that ships with the
os (though, configuring it may be a bit tricky)
And, there's one I like very much, it's called ncftp, and can be
downloaded at http://www.ncftpd.com
There is a mac version, and for 1-3 simultaneous connections, it's
free, more requires registration.
It sets relatively easily, and is very configurable.
I like the ncftp server, because it can work independently of the os,
meaning you are not restricted by the number of users your os
supports, but can have as many accounts as you like, and each one can
be configured anyway you like as well.
Of course, it's probably overkill for your purposes, but if ftp is
what you want, there's probably no better program to do what you want.
On the other hand, if sharing files is all you want, then simply
activate web sharing in system preferences, then just drop the files
you want to share in your sites folder, and direct the friend to your
machine's ip address followed by the /~user_name folder to see your
files.
There's also ssh via terminal if you really want to go that far, but
that's probably not necessary.

HI all.
Just wondering if anyone can please tell me if there are any
shareware ftp server packages that work with voice over and that are
easy to configure?
I just want to set up an ftp server from time to time so I can share
files with a friend.
I'm open to suggestions so if there's other software that would work
better sharing files between 2 macs that would be great.
Even one of those sites where you can pay moneyh to have your files
stored in the cloud would work. Anything like this that's mac
compatible would be great.
Thanks for any suggestions on this.
