Your own FTP server in few minutes
Well, basically a FTP server is well suited for downloading and uploading of data (image,text,docs,audio,video just anything) it is very easy to setup an ftp server,
i’ll be telling you the easiest way. The steps are as follows
1. Download Golden ftp server from http://www.goldenftpserver.com
download the free edition only..
2. install it and add the folders you want to share in options->open shares
then browse for the folder you want to share select it.
3. If you want users to be able to upload files to your server then click on the
checkbox “enable full control”
4. Now press ok , and your server is installed and running.
5. Now go to run->cmd and type “ipconfig” that’ll show you your ip .
6. Now tell your friend to open firefox or Internet explorer and type this in address bar.
ftp://your i.p/
for example.. if my I.P is 192.168.12.8
then the address will be ftp://192.169.12.8/
7. If u r using broadband using modem then every time you reconnect your I.P will
change so you’ll have to do step 5 and 6 again.
note - if you are behind a proxy and you want to access an ftp server on internal Lan , just remove the proxy settings from browser’s network settings, as internal ftp server requests need not be routed by your proxy server..
