You could try WFTPD (Winsock FTP Daemon) by Texas Imperial Software. I
don't know whether it resolves links properly, but it's small and easy
to set up. A fully-functional shareware version (about 256kb) is
available from:
ftp://ftp.iquest.com/pub/windows/papa/daemons/FTPD/wftpd233.zip
Alternatively, why not install one Debian machine and ftp from that?
Good luck,
