SmartFTP is an FTP client, meaning that SmartFTP is a program that connects to an FTP server, sends requests that follow FTP protocol to that FTP server, and interprets the responses received. So to answer your question, NO you cannot run a ftp server with this software. However, when you finally do get your FTP server up and running, your friend will be able to use SmartFTP to download files from your server. As for software to run your FTP server, try something like PureFTPd: http://www.pureftpd.org/ Or ProFTPd: http://www.proftpd.org/

thank you
