software help (ftp server,pdf reader,disk cleaner)

Hi, i need 3 programs and need soem help with them:

1st: i need a program to create a ftp server on my windows home server. in the past i used cesarftp but its kinda old and dead for a long time. so which software should i use? Filezilla-Server?

2nd: i need a lightweight pdfreader. Only want the basic functions. Foxit reader always crashed with firefox (and that for ages already.. no matter which version i use and which windows). Adobe PDF Reader should be too big and slow from what i read. Any recommendations?

3rd: I´m loosing alot of space on my SSD.. a week ago i had 49gb´s left and not its only 38.. without installing or downloading anything on my SSD. I belive its something with windows that uses alot of space on my laptop´s SSD. CCleaner isnt helping much. Disk Cleanup (windows standart tool) neither. Any idea what i could try to clean up ?

Thanks

 

1. filezilla is one of the best servers for a windows machine

2.chrome has a built reader now and is quite lightweight... Nitro pdf also works well, Sumatra PDF is another option

3. you probably have windows restore points on the drive... if you lower the space available to windows restore you should free up some space (or disable it, but that could lead to issues if you actually need to use it)

 

Hi,

I think, you can't go wrong with that.

I am using PDF X-Change from Tracker Software. It is not as lightweight as Sumatra PDF (which gave me some issues with certain documents), but not as bloated as Adobe Reader.

Then these are files that are not considered to be wiped. Perhaps system restore points or shadow copies.

dont have restore points activated. have to delete them else i wont have any space on my ssd within a month :S

kk installed filezilla server, works great

 

Doesn't WHS have an FTP server built in? If it has IIS then the capability should be included in that.

For a PDF reader... Google Chrome has PDF reading capability built-in, and I use that.

 

i dont use windows server actually... its win7 on it as i also use it for some working stuff.

i somehow have troubles with filezilla..
i forwared the port, i can connect withing the local network but i cant connect frm the outside (it freezes at parsing passive mode).

any ideas?

 

True, but I use Filezilla FTP server on my WHS. It's a lot easier to set up.

 

any ideas why filezilla isnt connectable from the outside but from local network (port is forwarded) ?

still dont rly know which pdf reader i should get (i use firefox not chrome)

what about the disk cleaner?

thanks

 

Hmm ... ever tried foxit for a pdf reader?

As for disk cleaners ... hmm ... there is ccleaner....

Might check out the stickied thread of free software for some other choices.

 

foxit pdf reader somehow is always buggy for me in connection with firefox.

ccleaner doesnt seem to clean "enough" :S

i know the sticky but adobe reader lite is dead isnt it? and then there are 5 other pdf readers with tested.. and i´m looking for opinions about those :>
