Hi Guys

Was my boys 4th birthday the other week and I want to email an ftp link to my wifes sister so she can download 300mb of pictures?

Is it possible, my fpt server is setup and working, just not sure how to do this?

Thanks
 
Step 1) Turn on PC, make sure you can get on the internet.

Step 2) Open Filezilla, put photos in FTP directory

Step 3) Either DMZ your PC's IP to the router, or do port forwarding to your PC's IP in the router. Port 21 and Port 20 'just to be sure'.

Step 4) The address will be ftp://<YourinternetIP>, when they put this address in, it will prompt for a username and password (which you will need to set up in Filezilla obviously).

Step 5) Download 300MB of photos.

Step 6) ???????

Step 7) Profit!
 
Ah right yes I know how to get them back to be I just wanted to send them a link to click on and it would download automatically without the need for username and password?

If you get me...
