This would work but I've found the dos SOSS program to be very

occassionally but it is annoying. I wonder if the NT version works
better.

There is an smbserver program that supposedly allows you to
do some, or all of the above. I have an archived posting that shows the
following ftp site as the home. yaouk.anu.edu.au This is from Dec. 93
I haven't confirmed it as I never have much luck ftp-ing to OZ.
I also get the following with archie.
archie -s smbserver
Host dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl
