FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, if you want to know more, you can check on Wikipedia. FTP is actually less popular nowadays, as many users of other protocols for exchanging files, especially P2P BT. FTP, still play an important role.
Let's say that you have a file that is 300 MB and you want to send to your friend overseas immediately. What would you do? Usually email attachment limit (usually not so highas 300 MB) and will be extremely slow and unstable when you try to transfer via instant messaging software like MSN. The best bet is to configure the FTP server at home and allow your friend to download from your computer. The mind, then you have an account to view files and take them anywhere.
If all the remote desktop setting up your home, you probably leave your computer on 24 * 7 just so that you can not accesswhenever you want. Or if you have a spare computer as I do, why do not you try to use the people? I'll show you how your computer to an FTP server.
After trying some of the FTP server software, freeware FileZilla Server has been my choice.
Ok, let's start.
The first thing to do is install the package just downloaded (the link above), installation is fairly simple and I do notto arrive at retail.
After installation, FileZilla server starts and you should be able to see the following interface:
Before you go ahead and set the ports, we want a user to ensure that the works to add. We are going to choose "Edit -> User" (. If there is a link, just below the "Edit" in the menu bar)
I have a user called "anonymous", and make sure the "Password" box is checked, because I'd be likemy account public FTP visitors can download from my FTP server. If you want other accounts, make sure the "Password" is selected on the basis of secure access to enforce. For many users, you can use another location, or you can just create a group and assign the path to all members of that group.
On the left you will see the "Shared Folders" the folder you want to "anonymous" as well as the rights that would seemfeasible. When finished, click OK.
Note: The shared folder is the root directory that you selected (in this case, is "anonymous") could be seen, but all the folders that the folders are visible to the user.
The thing that Windows users, you probably missed when setting up FileZilla is the firewall. About the installation, even if you have the means to allow computers to access your FTP Server, there is something wrongis correct.
Locate your firewall settings, you can find FileZilla Server Interface can be allowed in the list, but this is the problem. We need to FileZilla Server Core instead of the interface. The interface is just the user interface for end users like you and me for access to the basic program. Then click Add to select "FileZilla Server" from the installation folder:
Now OK.
If you have two or more computers at home,you can buy a test. First check your internal IP address. If you do not know how to do it, check out my previous post, set the remote desktop. For example, I discovered that the internal IP of 192.168.1.111 is my server, then on another computer, I type in just ftp://192.168.1.111.
Note: If a port other than 21, say that the port 22, type ftp://192.168.1.111:22 if you do not know which port is, in fact, is underinstitution -> General Settings: If it works for you, we will go, other than those new to read instructions or ask me.
FTP server is intended to cover in a network, if you just try to set it up at home, then you are done, but according to the situations introduced in my first paragraph, I would like to see the world.
How a Remote Desktop, we will establish port forwarding. In my case, because my FileZilla Server on port 21 on my computer, Ineed a way to send the FTP application on this port. Ideally it would be nice if you can configure the port 21 and outer door, because every time you type in the address bar, we do not need to type the port number (default port of FTP browser is 21). However, most ISPs (Internet Service Provider), for example, I use Telus blocking port 21. We need a different port as our outer door to find:
I suggest port 5050 as my remote port and all FTP requests through this port willNext to port 21 on my server. I am using D-Link DIR-825, if your router, refer to the instruction manual.
If dynamic DNS, then you have done, if not, go back and read my post, it is very simple.
Let's say you have your dynamic DNS name as myServerAtHome.no-ip.org, then when you're out, you can simply type ftp://myServerAtHome.no-ip.org:5050, but when you get home, you may onlyftp://192.168.1.111.
You can set your browser to visit your FTP server, though, I recommend using FTP software. FileZilla Server is a great FTP server and client software they have. You can check the website FileZilla if you do not have one, why not try FileZilla Client?
