| 227034 | 2004-04-04 02:52:00 | Anybody have any thoughts on how I could best set up some sort of ftp service, allowing certain people (friends of mine) to upload and have access to certain files on my pc? im talking a small few people and small but fairly often exchanges. Would it be possible to turn my pc into a server cheaply or freely? | jupi8 (4244) | ||
| 227035 | 2004-04-04 02:54:00 | Can I use something like Aceftp to do this? | jupi8 (4244) | ||
| 227036 | 2004-04-04 02:57:00 | there are a few ftp sever software around. fairly simple to setup, its been way to long since i've used one so i won't recommend any. just make sure the access is passworded ;-) the simplist way is just to use instant messageing. |

| 227037 | 2004-04-04 03:05:00 | Cheers, instant messaging is probibly the most efficient way in my case, I am still kinda keen to maybe work something else out. Bit of a mission for project for my self lets say. Thanx tweak'e |

| 227040 | 2004-04-04 04:56:00 | I am actualy running linux on another partition but I am still having problems connecting to the internet with my current modem (winmodem). My primary OS is windows xp home so I assume no ftp servers built in? |

| 227042 | 2004-04-04 05:57:00 | Is a static ip address needed? | jupi8 (4244) | ||
| 227043 | 2004-04-04 06:02:00 | > Is a static ip address needed? Nope :) Have a look at www.no-ip.com/ (there are other dynamic DNS service provider out there like http: etc...) Hope this helps PS: I hope your ISP allows servers |
