Troubleshooting Windows Build Issues

1. Use the provided `build-windows.bat` script which handles common build issues

2. Make sure Node.js and npm are properly installed

3. Try running the TypeScript compiler directly: `npx tsc`

4. If you still have issues, you can use the pre-compiled files in the `build` directory by running: ``` node path\to\mcp-server-ftp\build\index.js ```

Security Considerations

• FTP credentials are stored in the Claude configuration file. Ensure this file has appropriate permissions.

• Consider using FTPS (secure FTP) by setting `FTP_SECURE=true` if your server supports it.

• The server creates temporary files for uploads and downloads in your system's temp directory.
