Smart FTP is a client?

Apache if you have a spare 5 hours.

Like Ian said check out Serv-U. It's pretty easy to configure and has good guides online etc.

http://www.serv-u.com

You download the Personal edition which is free (only support two concurrent conncections but that's fine for you)...

I would suggest microsoft ftp as it's an optional component with Windows 2k/XP, but it requires giving the person a windows user account which probably isn't the greatest idea security wise unless you're proficient with securing your system...

Actually, as another thought -- do you really want an FTP server. If you want people to download mixes easily you could always consider installing a webserver instead? Again Windows 2k/XP comes with IIS (Internet Information Server) as an optional windows component (Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows components)...
