As a network admin I'd say it depends on your needs. If you just need something quick and dirty for a few transfers and you're on a professional version of Windows enabling the IIS FTP server isn't too hard. Go to Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off. Check "Internet Information Services" and expand to include FTP Server. Then open IIS Manager add an FTP site and set up a user.

But honestly for a home user or small office FileZilla Server is way easier. The interface holds your hand through user management and passive mode configuration (which is crucial if you're behind a router). Just be aware that plain FTP is not secure—the password and data are sent unencrypted. For any sensitive transfers you should use FTPS (FTP over SSL) or SFTP (which is different and uses SSH). FileZilla supports FTPS. Whatever you choose make sure to use strong passwords and consider only running the server when you need it.

That's a tricky one! According to the United States Postal Service (USPS) regulations VHS tapes generally CANNOT be sent via Media Mail. Media Mail is specifically for educational media like books sound recordings printed music and other materials that are primarily for reading listening or studying. The key requirement is that the content must be educational or informational in nature.

VHS tapes fall into a gray area. If the VHS contains recorded educational content (like a documentary instructional video or lecture series) and is being sent between authorized parties (like libraries schools or educational institutions) it might qualify. However if it's a commercial movie a home recording of TV shows or entertainment content it definitely does NOT qualify. The USPS reserves the right to inspect Media Mail packages and if they find ineligible content they'll charge the higher Priority Mail rate plus extra fees. Honestly it's usually safer and not much more expensive to use First Class Package or Ground Advantage for VHS tapes. Check the official USPS Media Mail page for the latest specifics.
