often times with ftp there will be a folder called public_html or the like, any files which you place in here can be accessed by http:// for example by putting page.html into public_ftp you could access it at http://site.com/page.html.

The only way is to set up a website and have everyone FTP their files to it.\n\nWithout routers or VPN, you're not going to do it any other way.

In your browser's address bar type ftp://canadathebest.com (notice no http:// and no www). You can also open the command line and type ftp canadathebest.com (notice no ://) but I tried and the FTP does not respond on that site-- make sure it is installed, and that the service or daemon is running and everything is configured properly. By default most servers have this turned off.  You also need ports 21 open on your firewall, or you need to specify the port if you want to use a different port (more secure that way) as ftp://canadathebest.com:8021 or whatever port you select.

There's numbers of ftp software can be use. My best selection would be Ws_FTP... There's some websites which also offers upload forms, to help those without ftp knowledge. For example, Geocities.

Well first off you need to forward the correct ports to the FTP server inside of the router. Port 25 is all you should need to forward so just look for Port Forwarding in the router pages. Now setup a FTP server on the PC with the IP address you just setup in the router.

FTP stands for file transfer protocol. It is one of the oldest ways of transfering files on a computer. \n\nFTP is not used much any more except by web hosting companies. The only reason hosting companies still use FTP is that Microsoft still insists on not including SSH/SCP with Windows and most Windows users don't know about SSH/SCP. \n\nThe reasons why nobody uses FTP if they can help it are. First it transfers your user name and password in the clear. That means anybody who is between you and the FTP user and or the site you are connecting to with FTP can get your user name and password just by listening.  FTP has no real error correction and it has no compression. So it is slower and far less reliable. \n\nUsing SCP for file transfers is as easy as using FTP. SCP however uses encryption for user names and passwords. SCP has better error correction and has compression. So it is more reliable, more secure and faster than FTP. \n\nAll you need to run FTP or host SCP file transfers is a server and to open the appropriate port in your firewall. \nFor SSH/SCP it is 22. For FTP it is 20 and 21. You want to support both active and passive FTP. \n\nThe difference between Active and Passive FTP is which end opens the second connection. In all FTP connections first the client contacts the server and tells them that they want to connect by FTP. Next in Active FTP the server will open a second port back to the client for the actual file transfer while Passive FTP the client is who opens this port to put it in a simplified way. I've included a link with a good deffinition on the difference between active and passive FTP. \n\nI strongly recomend using SSH/SCP rather than FTP. I've included links for SSH/SCP rather than FTP. I've also included a link to WinSCP which is an excellent client for both FTP and SCP transfers. \n\nIf you use Linux, FreeBSD, Unix or a Mac(and installed the sys utils) you already have an FTP server installed on your machine. You only need to configure your firewall. With the Mac you'll have to download SSH I believe. Other than that the other OS's come with SSH already installed.

Your own FTP site you mean?  You need an FTP server, google for a server for your particular operating system.  Note that FTP is not secure (for example, someone could discover your password), use SFTP instead.

you can make html redirect script, so when a person visits http://www.yourcompany.com it will redirect to ftp://

I have recently implemented a photoserver running from my home computer.  I also have a dynamic IP address.  I used a free version of software from 'www.no-ip.com' to take care of my dynamic IP.  I was using tzo.com, but they raised their prices - free is even better.\nAlso, sometimes your ISP will block the default (incoming) port 21 for FTP.  Some free dynamic redirection providers allow you to have your FTP or Web server listen on any specified port - above what your ISP might be blocking.\nFor the FTP side of your question you could use Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Services), define an FTP server, select the same port as what you specified with your free dynamic IP account, ensure that your router doesn't block this port.\nIIS can be challenging to use for an FTP server, you may want to look at Filezilla.\nHope this helps.

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'....

All you need to do pick FTP server and install it on one of your machines. All of this ftp server are easy to setup. If you want to access to your ftp server anywere on the internet you need to open port 21 on your router. ****Be carefully open port on your router can expose you to virus.\n\n\nIIS-http://www.webwizguide.com/asp/tutorials/installing_iis_winXP_pro.asp\nApacheFTP-http://incubator.apache.org/ftpserver/\nhttp://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

Under Virtual Servers, enter the following information:\n1. Enable/Disable: Enable\n2. Description: FTP server\n3. Inbound Port: 21-21\n4. Type: TCP\n5. Private IP Address: 192.168.2.27\n6. Private Port: 21\n\nMake sure your FTP server has some strong passwords, mine gets tons of attacks every day by password crackers!

You need to open port 21 on your computer. If you're behind a firewall or a router, make sure to forward port 21 to your comp. Then download a program that will be the "FTP Server" for you. There's a couple freeware programs out there that can do this, here's a few:\n\nMicrosoft IIS (Internet Information Services) (if you have Windows XP, you already have this, it's kind of a pain to install/use though. NOT recommended).\nFileZilla: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21558 - Make sure to download FileZilla SERVER. This program runs great, I've used it for quite a while.\n\nThere are a few others, but I haven't used them, so I can't recommend them to you with 100% confidence. I highest suggest FileZilla Server. Have fun!\n\nOh, if you have a dynamic IP (your IP always changes), then you'll want to get an account at www.no-ip.com. That way you can forward to a name instead of your IP.

If you are looking for a free FTP client/server, try \n\nhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/\n\nThis is a free open source ftp client/server. I have been using the client for quite some time and found to be pretty useful.\n\nRegards,\nGK

Most often you will FTP them to the server.  Windows can do this with built in support.\n\nYou can point your web browser to the FTP address of the server and drag and drop your files.\n\nBUT... it doesn't always work.  The windows support isn't always good.\n\nI recommend Cute FTP, but there are many free FTP applications out there.  EVERYONE should look at www.download.com for good software. Often it's free... check it out.
