Setting up a FTP Server

Howzit guys.

I am waiting to setup a home FTP server over a LAN network.

Can someone tell me the easiest way of doing this?

Many Thanks! :cool:

I was using FilleZilla. Didn't know they had a server version.

Many Thanks, Vader! :cool:

Howzit guys..

Well I am having a lot of trouble with this whole setup.

I keep getting, a error message saying "Unable to connect to: 127.0.0.1"

I'm not too sure what I am doing wrong?

Just to make sure it wasn't a firewall issue, I turned it off. My home network runs through a switch, so no port forward is needed. I have checked that the server is online. I was using port: 14147. And the 127.0.0.1 address. I'm not sure what the whole bound IP address is though?

Thanks guys!

I've check it and it is set to ALL. Is this correct?

Thanks for the help, Ubern.

I'm using FileZila's client software to connect to the server. I have tried that machine's IP address. I will have to give it another shot in the morning as I cannot access the server's room at the moment due to the other half being asleep in said room.

Will update tomorrow.

Many Thanks, Ubern. :cool:

Morning all.

Thanks, Ubern I have sorted it now. The whole IP binding is what I got wrong. All working.

Another thing: How can I see this server over the Internet? Needs a different address, surely?
