Open Windows control panel
Open Administrative Tools
Open Component Services
On the window that opens make sure that Services(local) is highlighted.
Right click on FTP Publishing Service selecting Properities.
Change startup type to Automatic.
Under service status clcik Start.
Click Apply and then OK.

Go back to Control Panel/ Administrative Tools
Click Computer Management.
In the window that opens up clcik the plus sign before Services and Applications
The click the plus sign before Internet Information Services
Click FTP Sites

Sorry to make this old thread active again, but i have vista and there is no "compounent services" button for me. What do I do for that part?

He is talking about configuring the ftp server on the seedbox not configuring the local ftp client, you could use the filezilla server for your seedbox then the filezilla client for your home PC.
