Nice Tutorial rmdort

I've been trying to find a way to host a FTP Server On My CPU So, When I Go To School I Enter My IP And Port, Along With My User Name And Password, I Can Get My Files Such As Projects, Music, Videos etc. I Guess Now I Don't Have To Download Those Programs off The Web That Will Open An FTP Server On My Computer, But Limits That I Can Only Download About 10 Files A Day. Love This Tutorial So Much I'm Gonna Bookmark it. :blink:

Thanks For Sharing This Data With Us!

Yeah I second MC's motion.. for Windows one should cut the crap and just install FileZilla server

It's easy as hell to setup including granting directory based read/write access to users. If you install XAMPP you'll know for sure coz it comes as a part of the installation.

Cheers,
