Can someone suggest how can I resolve this issue?
The FTP server daemon is NOT installed on a default install,
for a good reason: It is unsafe, anybody can crack into your
computer, if the FTP daemon is available.

Please install SSH on the Linux box and use WinSCP at the
Windows end to transfer files more safely.

Or alternatively get the old woman out of your hair and enable the FTP
daemon.

Its not THAT insecure..if done properly.

as long as you don't use passwords -- they're sent in the clear.

Around an internal network?
Who cares?

AND how many of you have ACTUALLY sniffed a password on ANYTHING except
an internal network.

Ok if you are using insecure radio...maybe..but how many hackers are
their plugged into the main nodes of major ISP's with packet sniffers?

Except the CIA of course...;-)

Be very careful; WiFi is essentially radio. I'll admit I for one
hope that the signal is at least encrypted sufficiently well,
once the satellite finds an endpoint, that casual sniffing is
difficult.

(Of course, that's assuming one has the right endpoint. There's
a few clones (clowns?) around.)

It's still legal to go .sigless.
