Why is built-in windows FTP bad?
Filezilla usually appears as an FTP server. I use it mostly myself, but I have also occasionally used Windows FTP. Hence the question, why not use the built-in standard tool as an FTP server? What are the disadvantages of built-in FTP that use anything but it as soon as you wonder FTP server on windows?

Well, regular FTP operates on the basis of IIS, this is a whole subsystem that is usually not installed, you need to install components, configure, etc. If a person is not an experienced Windows administrator, this can be difficult for them. Well, it's longer anyway.
And filezilla - 10 seconds download from offsite, a minute of setup and you already have a very light FTP server consuming a minimum of resources with a convenient control panel.
And does the standard one know how to work normally? I tried several times and always have problems, either the encoding is clumsy, or it barely loads, then when deleting / editing it falls asleep with a bunch of errors, well, or the window just freezes.
So it's like using standard IE instead of a normal browser.
