Where can I get a good free media server application?

I’m looking for an application to stream media from my home ftp server to my laptop over the Internet…I don’t want to use an HTTP client because I’m running XP Home, and it doesn’t support IIS. I downloaded Unreal Media Server and Player, but the interface is horrible, and the display of actual media files and whatnot…I’m looking for a better one that’s free. Any ideas?

Hello there.

You might look into VLC as a media server

It should work for your simple needs.
