I generally try to avoid running FTP servers on PC if at all possible. I instead prefer to initiate FTP from the PC.

It would achieve the same goal that you are trying to achieve without having to use an FTP server on your PC.
The following Search400 tip shows how to execute FTP in a batch file from a PC:
