File Transfer - any recommendations?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



I have a need to reliably transfer files to and from several CE 5 based
devices from a server PC (initiated from the PC).
These CE devices are docked in Ethernet cradles around the network, so can
be individually addressed, and the IP addresses are known.
The situation would be the same if they were wireless I guess.

Can anyone suggest the best way to do this?
Would an FTP server running on each device be a good method?
If so, does a Windows CE FTP server exist?

Are there other .NET ways this could be done (I am fairly new to .NET) ?

I can happily communicate with them using sockets but am trying to avoid
writing a file transfer protocol myself.

I am using VS2005, and C# .NET.

All suggestions welcome.
