RE: [SPAM] [WS_FTP Forum] Setting up WSFTP Server

[o shal]

Thanks, Randy, that makes sense.

if going with ISP is not an option, what's the other way?

also, assuming there is a domain, do I just make up a host name with that domain name and list my machine IP address? Do I need to notify anybody of that, or get some kind of permission?

Someone here mentioned earlier that i just need to list my IP, what about valid host name?

Thanks a lot,

Alyssa

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.

Just exactly how do you think you are going to use FTP without some type of network connectivity?

Hi 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.

Alyssa
