Setup a local FTP Server on Windows 8

In one of my projects - for testing purposes - I needed to setup a local FTP server in my development environment to run locally so I could test FTP commands to send files somewhere. The best video I found how to do this was this one:


To try to send files to this FTP Server using built-in ftp commands of Windows 8.1 I did this:

1. Open a command windows in administrator mode
2. Type

open <ipadress> /* connects to ftp-server */
<enter credentials>

dir <lists files> /* lists all files on ftp-server */

send <filename> /* To upload file to ftp-server */
