ftp site

[AltecXP]

im running .net server and i have a webpage w/ unlimited bandWidth, all i need to do is figure out how to set up the ftp page, can anyone show me a page that'll help
edit: is there a way i can get around the 50mb limit i have on the page and use a partition of my server for more space? (im obviously very new to ftp stuff)

what OS? if your server is running windows, then you can install Bullet Proof FTP Server (www.bpftpserver.com) and make an ftp server

uh, dude
he said he's running .net server.
im guessing it have build in IIS.
just go to control panel/admin tools/comp management/services and application/IIS

u can go to new, and select new ftp. and you'lll get a wizard thingy.

this is how it is on xp, so im not sure on .net but it shoudl be similar?
what what version of .net are u running?

IIS isn't installed by default on .Net server. You have to go to Control Panel / add remove programs / add remove windows components and install if off of there. It will ask for your disk.

Setting it up is pretty straight forward, but unless you have a good firewall or a complete understanding of IIS security, you can make a very quick and efficient path into your machine for a hacker.

ok i set up a site i can see it but can u? ftp://192.168.1.100

The 192.168 is a private subnet, nobody is going to get to it. If your broadband connection IP is different from the IP address of the FTP site, you're going to need a router to route that information, and you're going to need one that does NAT (Network address Translation).

Your computer is connected to the world using the IP address supplied by your provider. That is designed to support one computer. You obviously have a network at home and that is why you have your computers are on the 192.168 network. And if you you have your home computers on that network, then you should all ready have a router. Either that or you assigned the wrong IP to the FTP address section when you created it.

So, do you have a home network? Do you have a router? If you answered yes to both, give me a network schematic and router type and we'll get it up an running.
