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/

You're not really asking the right question - but I understand what you're looking for. You don't want to run your own DNS server. You want a service to host dynamic DNS for your home IP, thus assigning it a permanent name. \n\nYes, there are such services - check out www.dyndns.com. You can create a free account and download a piece of software for your computer. By running that software, you're advertising your current IP address to dyndns.com. They are then taking that information and publishing a DNS entry associating it with a host name of your choosing.\n\nThis is great for a small scale website that you share with your friends. However, if you want something larger that gets a lot of traffic, it is best to put it on a server at your ISP or a web hosting company. Most home Internet connections have a lot of bandwidth for downloading but very little for uploading.

you need to open the ports (22 and/or 23) for ftp however leaving these open puts your machine at risk. Unless you need to do this then I would enable/disable as and when necessary.\n\nAs for the specifics then you need to be specific as we haven't a notion what firewall you are using.\n\nIf you have router to connect to the net then you shouldn't open your firewall ports but instead use a NAT on your ports to direct the traffic to/from 22 and/or 23 to the pc where you are funning ftp software.\n\nUsing NAT is more secure than leaving ftp ports open in your firewall.

Almost every standard web hosting plan includes FTP access. The only ones I can think of that don't are e-mail only plans, or perhaps telnet/shell access only plans.\n\nJust search Yahoo or Google for "Web host". You will find lot's of companies that offer this service.\n\nYahoo itself actually offers web hosting, it's called Geocities.\n\nGood luck!

Using the wrong address, FTP must be used correctly, you missed the point somewhere. Check if you can find your file to down load it for a change. If not, it didn't upload.\n\nI have been useing thier page builder for years, it's much easier than  codes.

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.

WS-FTP is free and easy to use.  are you talking about client or server?\n\nClient you can use the windows FTP browser in IE.  Just put in the address and click file and login.\n\nServer \n\nTu cows has many listed\n\nhttp://tucows.com/search?search_terms=ftp+server&search_scope=win&search_adv=0&sort=score&filter=&page=1&nfilter=freeware

Basically you have DNS and/or WINS.  Both need to be specified either statically in the TCP/IP settings or assigned to you dynamically by the DHCP server.\n\nBasically, DNS is used to resolve the fully qualified domain names such as mypc.myflorida.com=192.168.1.10\n\nWINS is used with NETBIOS to resolve the short names like just mypc=192.168.1.10

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

you can use either no-ip or dyndns, i tryied dyndns as it was recomened by my linksys router, it only worked for a month and i didnt get very far, so i switched to using no-ip, they are both free serveices. allthough no ip has a nice little appliction you run on your web server and it will kepp it updated with your ip address you are conected to the internet with. you can also to configure it to run as a service as well

Check your DNS address.  Or configure it to dynamic. Try start&#92;run&#92; type cmd and then type ping and then the IP of a website. (you can find it by going to a computer connected to the internet and going start&#92;run type cmd, then type tracert www.TheNameOfAnySiteYouWantHere.com  If your ping works, that means your DomainNameServer is not telling the computer that the the name it wants is at IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  The only reason the DNS server would not grant the request for one but do it for all other computers is it cannot hear the request.\n\nWindows XP sp2 is the best Windows by far.  Linux is still better.  Try Ubuntu- it's free for the downloading.  http://www.ubuntu.com/ get an ISO to burn to a CD, or have them ship it to you for free.   You can boot off the CD and play around with it without having to install it.  Unless you just want to play games, and then you should stick to Windows.

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.
