I want to use a Mac at work as an FTP server for clients to drop and pick up files. The Mac is running OS X 10.3.8. Anyone have advice or references to information that would help me set this up?
I already have turned on FTP sharing and opened the correct port through the firewall. I have no trouble connecting from home on my Mac, but I'm not sure if PCs would also be able to upload/download from this server. And I wouldn't want one client to have access to the files of another client, so I need some way to set up a username/password system for each client. Is this best accomplished by setting up each client as a user in the Mac's Accounts preferences? Or is there some easier/better way? I do not have Mac OS X Server? Would that make this task significantly easier? Should I worry about hackers getting in through my open FTP port? Dan | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be February 22.
