You don't need a domain per se, because
it is valid to FTP to an IP address. But you will need a few
things:
1. fixed IP address (may require a
different service level) so that your users can be given an
address
2. agreement with ISP that
includes passing FTP traffic (lots of basic ISP agreements don't allow
servers to run at the customer side)
I would suggest contacting ISP and
explaining exactly what you intend to do.

Subject: [SPAM] [WS_FTP Forum] Setting up WSFTP ServerHi all,
I'm not an expert, so if my question is not clear or stupid, I appologize in advance.
I need to set up an FTP server on XP machine, there is no network. This is for the small purpose to have few people be able to download/upload files. My question: what is my host? How do I set that part? Do i have to have a domain? and if I do, who is to add my host name to the domain? and which IP address will I need in that case? and if I go through ISP, do I have to notify them so that they add my host?
I appreciate any replies very much.
