Yes, but you can install an SFTP server on the PC. Just make sure that you set your FTP client to SFTP (or Port 22 (versus 21 for unsecure FTP), if it doesn't give you the SFTP option directly), if you want security. If you're using Linux on the PC, then in many distributions, SFTP is enabled when you install OpenSSH. I'd assume that if there's a Windows port/variant of the OpenSSH server, or if you use Cygwin or something, that you could do the same thing there. Alternatively, just find a standalone SFTP server.
