Where specifically are you getting stuck with FileZilla? Have you tried their wiki for instructions? http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/FileZilla_FTP_Server

Implementing? That is just another word for "making use of" or "adding support for" in the context of that page. They are saying that SFTP isn't support in FileZilla Server, which is fine for Windows.

You would just want to pay attention to this part for the Server software:
  1. Run the exe installer
  2. Select admin port and remember this port
  3. Launch FileZilla Server Interface
  4. Enter port from above, enter (new) password for administration, click ok/connect
  5. Create a user and/or group with permissions to a home directory.
  6. Add additional directory and set the alias name to display within home directory (e.g. /AliasName)
  7. Complete

If you follow those steps, you should be left with a working FTP server that you can connect to using any FTP software such as Filezilla, WinSCP, or even Microsoft's horrible built-in FTP client in the Explorer.
