I don't know of a public domain one, and the only other commercial offering
I've seen, from FTP software, is more expensive yet.  (For commercial sites.
Their number is 617-246-9000 if you want to call and ask about academic
discounts; I don't know about them.)

Please post anything you get on this; I'm sure many of us would be
interested.  Thanks.
