Xcalibur Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 this question is on behalf of a friend: my friend is setting up an ftp server, and he has a question.. he wants to know if he uses IP pointing on one of his subdomains using mydomain.com, can he use it as an FTP alias? eg. ftpserver.hisdomain.com??

amoeba Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 I don't think this works. I would think it might be on a per-host basis, but I don't think dns-services act the same way real domains do. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lomex Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 If he is hosting it on his own server, and has a DNS server then he can set it up... You can have whatever.mydomain.com and point it to whatever IP you want... But he has to be running his own DNS server, if not then he has to contact his hosting people and ask them if they can set it up for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioboy Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Yes, he can. Set up his subdomain to point to his IP. I believe that's under "IP Pointing" on MyDomain. If he doesn't see this option, he needs to change service to MyDomain Plus (don't worry it's free -- they just hide some of the more advanced stuff from the mortal users). Once he has the subdomain pointing at his IP, wait 48 hours or so for it to take effect, then point his browser to ftp://subdomain.hisdomain.com/ while he has his FTP server running and it should work.

john smith 1924 Veteran Posted March 13, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 13, 2002 yeah- dns to go will work i think you specifically need to configure the port- rather than dialing in ftp.blab.dns2go.com it would be blab.dns2go.com:port/ check their faq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
