Yes, but there are many ways to exploit a server. What I
recommend is a firewall to block all other communication except FTP so that the
only means of outside communication with that server is via
FTP.
Also, don't make the the user account passwords easily
guessable. FTP is itself a security risk. I suggest using alphanumeric passwords
of at least 8 digits long, even mixing uppercase and lower case
letters.

well, I was thinking to assign users and give them persmissions only. Isn't
it a way?

You should also be concerned about security issues, since the server would be accessible by anyone with an Internet connection.-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: [SPAM] [WS_FTP Forum] Setting up WSFTP ServerYou 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 address2. 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.-- Randy

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.
