That I'll leave to those more expert in other types of servers. You
could probably find a fairly inexpensive windows machine for just FTP.
(But that's a discussion for another list.) Someone suggested a server
located at the client site. That might be a good place for the FTP
server while renting or owning a colo RaQ somewhere for just serving
pages, as it's designed. If it's at the client site, they don't need to
deal with downloads and they can just do some regular backups of the
client files to tape or CD.

I'm sure there are some fairly simple server setups if all the dedicated
server is going to do is handle FTP and not serve any web pages, email,
DNS, etc.

I don't think it will need to be too big.
