egads...#1-wrong, #2-wrong.\n\n\n#1 "...The computers behind your router use non-routable IP address, for example, 192.168.0.9..."\n\nthe local IP's are certainly routable, they are just not exposed to the Public internet as that IP.\n\n#2 "...ISPs usually block the ports that FTP and web servers use. You may need to use a port other that 21..."\n\nSOME ISP's may block that port, far more do not, than do in my experience. \n\nto answer the question, the software you installed seems to be aquiring another IP address from the DHCP server in your router, let it.  Setup 'port forwarding' in your router to forward traffic on port 21 to go to THAT IP address.\nNOTE: you will likely not be able to access FTP resources from the PC the 'server' is installed on, unless you disable the 'port fowarding'....

You can find the necessary code and example here:\n\nhttp://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-connect.php\n\nGood luck!

Most hosting sites provide facilities for you to upload files...  they may have their own tools, or let you use ftp.\nIn the second case, you just need to get an FTP client (CuteFTP, WS_FTP, etc.) and ask them the details of the "location" (server adddress) and username/password to set up...  then you can up/download to your heart's content.\nMost site have tech support teams who will help out.\n\n\nWhat kind/size of site are you setting up?\nDrop me a line, I may be able to fix you up...

Very simply, if you're using Windows XP you no longer need a seperate ftp program.\n\nOpen any folder and type the ftp details into the address bar in a similar format to this:\n\nftp:// yourusername:yourpassword @ yourwebserverdetails.com\n\n(remove the spaces though!)\n\nYou will now be able to drag and drop from the server as if it was any other folder on your machine!\n\nAnd if you want to save the details so that you don't have to keep retyping them in every time...go to "My Network Places" and "create a network place"...then just enter all of the details for each site.  Simple as that.  When you want to ftp, just go to "My Network Places" and click on the appropriate link to take you directly to the server folder.\n\ngreat eh?!

This is the ftp(file transfer protocal) site,you cant access this site through http,i mean from the internet explorer.\nYou need ftp software to login to this site,try cuteftp and get this file.

You need to tell it what to connect to, along with a proper username/password.\n\nIf you don't know what FTP is, or what it does, then you don't need to be using an FTP client in the first place.

1. Open Windows Firewall from the Control Panel.\n2. Click on the Advanced tab.\n3. Highlight the network connection you want to configure. (It's probably Local Area Connection.)\n4. Click on the Settings button.\n5. On the Services tab of the Advanced Settings dialog box, make sure that "FTP Server" is UNchecked.\n6. On the Exceptions tab, back in the Windows Firewall dialog box, there may be programs that Windows is allowing to bypass the firewall. All of those programs are potential security risks. Uncheck any that you don't think you need. If you break something, you can always re-enable it.

The place where you are publishing that page, accepts ftp and FrontPage?  Start with that, then I hope you have a recent version of FrontPage.  Keep me updated, please.   Good luck!

How to set up a home FTP server\nREAD MORE: FTP, Feature, Home server, Top \n \nby Matt Haughey\n\nIf you’ve been following the the Lifehacker Home Server Series of articles, you know how to do things like reach your home computer from anywhere in the world thanks to dynamic DNS services. Gina wrote about how to set up a personal home web server, but in my experience the killer home server feature that hasn’t been covered to date is how to set up a personal FTP server at home. \n\nA home FTP server is useful to anyone who wants to save and retrieve files on their computer from anywhere. Ever forget a Word document on your home desktop that you really need at work? Ever download a PDF that explains how to fix something at work and you realize too late you left it at home that morning? If you have a personal FTP server, and you can reach your computer from any place on earth, your files will never be captive on your hard drive at home again.\n\nMy home FTP server has saved me on many occasions. Sometimes it’s when I’m on a business trip and need an extra file left at home, most often it’s when I’m in the office and didn’t remember to bring files I worked on at home. By far my best FTP story is from a few years ago, when my wife was giving a reading at a wedding. A couple hours before the ceremony, we realized we left the poem sitting in the tray of my printer at home. We sped to my nearby office, I FTP’d to my desktop, got the Word doc downloaded and printed it there, which we took to the wedding with time to spare. My home FTP server saved the day. \n\nThe main advantage of a home FTP server over a web server is that you can save files to the server, whereas with a web server, you can only get files. The disadvantage of a home FTP server is that you need an FTP client to connect to it, whereas web servers can be accessed using a plain old web browser. However, many modern web browsers support the FTP protocol. Instead of prefacing the URL with http://, use ftp://. That said, most web browsers make crappy FTP clients. You should use a more fully-featured FTP client to conect to your server like SmartFTP or WS_FTP wherever possible. \n\nLet’s get started. \n\nWhat you’ll need: \n\nA Windows PC \nAn always-on broadband (DSL or cable) internet connection \nStep 1: Download and install Serv-U FTP \n\nServ-U FTP is a nice windows FTP server app that has a simple to use interface. It’s been around for years — I’ve used it since 1997 and it works flawlessly. The newest version adds more security through SSL support and the best part of all is that the personal version which allows for two FTP logins is completely free. \n\nNow, don’t get confused because they have several levels of pricing and several editions, but you can download a single package from here that includes all versions. Once installed, you will have a “corporate edition” that after thirty days will become the “personal edition.” If you follow along this tutorial, you won’t be using any special features so you shouldn’t see anything change once the application reverts to the free version. And by all means, if you decide to use this on a machine at work, make your employer pay for a license, but as long as this is on your home computer, free personal use is fine. \n\nStep 2: Complete setup and create a user login \n\nAfter the initial setup is done, Serv-U should start the administrator and ask you to create a new user account. Start off by first putting in the domain name you used to setup your dynamic DNS. The names I’m using in these figures are for demonstration purposes.\n\ngo to this link for more: http://www.lifehacker.com/software/home-server/how-to-set-up-a-home-ftp-server-130806.php

you can try using ftp:// and then url istead of http://, sometimes that will get you in

That's odd. Make sure your server is running.  Also, make sure your IIS is configured right.  And make sure that the connection to that computer is solid.  I know that I had probelms with a server with a funky connection.

Mine is working now. If yours isn't running, it's probably related to the particular server your group is on and shouldn't be down long.

try this and see if you get a login prompt (from the browser):\n\nftp://ftp.yahoo.com\n\nIf you get a login prompt then you have port 21 access

YOUR FIREWALL MAY BE KEEPING IT FROM DOWLOADING?

if the server is working and it works everywhere else, maybe your FTP software got corrupted somehow - possibly a file or 2 got deleted accidentally or the registry is messed up  or something?
