FTP on Windows Servers

Hello,
For the datafeed transfer, I need to install FTP on a Windows server. Windows does have a very limited native FTP server that can be enabled, but my server guy says it's pretty much deprecated.

Server guy gave me three options: SecureFX (paid program), Filezilla (he says it's less prefered) or OpenSSH.

Does anyone have any pros/cons for FTP install on a Windows Server for a datafeed transfer from AIS to server?

Thanks,
Lucy Zoe

We use WinSCP and PowerShell to perform the transfer. We have our sunapsis server targeting a linux server for the transfer.

I ended up purchasing SecureFX by VanDyke Software. It installs easily on a Windows Server and it's cheap.
