Setup a FTP server for personal use?
468733
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.

yes you can.\n\n1) each pc on your network you need to give a set ip address, as most routers give each computer an ip address when the computer starts up.\n\n2) in your router setup you would have to also look at port fowarding, this so outside world requests can get thorugh to a specif machine, you should have some already pre set but not operation, i have a linksys, i give an app name such as http, set the external port to 80, internal port to 80, it will ask for an internal ip address. this would be the ip of your web server in my case 10.0.0.3 and save changes.\n3) you would then need some sort of dns lookup service. if you join no-ip.com which is free, then go to download there software onto your web server. my site is shoey.no-ip.info (its not up as im upgrading my server) then this will keep no ip up to date with your connection.\n4) you would follow similar processes for setting up ftp etc\n\nthis is only a really rough quick, guide. if you e-mail me what router you got, id be able to give you something a bit more to your settings

FTP uses port 21. Make sure you have port 21 access.

You need to set up a FTP account. To do so, you need to download a FTP software\n(SmartFTP and AceFTP are some freeware FTP products)\nUpload your files, then you are good to go!

You just put it in a shared folder and when people use it , it will search your shared folder, if you specifically want to share it with certain people then I suggest you try out something like so \n\nwww.wfshome.com\n\nThat or setup and FTP server or something like that :)\n\nbullet ftp is a good example, so is cute ftp :)

I believe Windows XP has it's own FTP server but it's probably best to use third party software. Filezilla have excellent FTP client and server programs available for free from the first link below. The second 2 are both commercial pieces of software that will do the same job (Bullet Proof FTP and G6 FTP Server).

Check out FTPOnline.  They have lots of tutorials and videos (free registration required).  I've included the link below.

Gosh, tough one this. I write software to do that but... if you were doing something simple, an easy way forward is a series of DOS FTP commands, written into a batch file and called at the appropriate time by Windows Scheduler.\n\nGo into Google and do a search for "FTP Commands with batch file" and you will be able to produce some sort of bodge.

http://www.xthost.info/ has free webhosting.  You can upload your files directly with ftp.  The only bad thing is that your website is deleted if you don't access it once a week.

Open up a folder/window\nIn the address bar type...\n\nftp://< username> : <password> @ ftpurl\n\nYou should connect to the FTP server and be able to upload and download files.

I think Cute FTP Pro is the best, because It is completely automated. There are option for uploading and if you dont know what to do there are certain options which will help u out.

Download FileZilla, a free Open Source FTP client: http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla

I use FileZilla - it's free, OPEN SOURCE, and works very well.  They also have FTP SERVER software available.
