Setting up FTP SERVER


Recommended Posts

I have WS FTP pro 8, btw.

But I want to act as a server so I can download and share files with a friend. How do I do it? what is the best software for it?

update

I have WS FTP server. It seems to have setup so I can share with a friend. Will this work?

I would agree with Hajj_3 ... BPFTP is probably one of the easiest to use and set up. Just install it, then set your users and passwords (each user can have axs to different folders than the others if necessary, you just assign the folders they can axs when you have set their account up)

I use slimFTPd its under 30 KB and you can configure user/pass and directories. Super easy to setup. I had it running in < 1 minute. I struggled w/ IIS and Bulletproof. All config is in a TXT file.

serv-u...but i haven't used any others..simply because i got serv-u up and running in no time...and has the same features listed above...so, fortunately for you, you've got a lot of choices...good luck!

Wow thanks guys. WS FTP SERVER had done much of what you have stated. Is it the hardest to use? Cause I would like to use the easiest one. Don't like to spend a lot of time reading up on it.

I have always used BFTP Server. Best FTP prog I've played with.

I dunno, it's all very intuitive. Not hard to figure out what you need to do or where you need to go to find some settings.

I'm using Serv-U FTP server, it's free if you use it for personal usage, and I find it to be excellent, very configurable.

Yeah - because actually having some clue to how it works. Or even a basic understanding of how FTP works in general would be BAD. :wacko:

ARRRGGHHHH!!!

I use BulletProof FTP Server to and I think it?s the easiest one.

I have tryed Serve-U and som other FTP Servers but I always end up with BPFTPServer.

just choose your own port for the FTP ... Then set up your router accordingly.
