Fileserver fail.

Le_Petit_Lapin · 22 Dec 2009 at 14:09

Hi guys,

I have a Filezilla FTP server running on my PC at home, however I appear to have switched it of last night and forgot to turn it on this morning.

Is there any way for me to switch it on from here in the office?

A really really long stick?

Remote Desktop or something similiar?

Not without being there afaik.

Need to set your PC to be device that gets pinged from internet & enable wake on lan in BIOS.

Remote desktop into the machine and turn on the FTP service.

Phone your neighbour, tell them where the spare key is hidden and get them to turn it on

I think I disabled Remote Desktop, the ports aren't forwarded for it anyway.

Oh well. No films for me to watch today, slow day too.
