Hey guyz....i've airtel 128kbps unlimited connection, i tried to setup FTP using XP's IIS but its not working at all can u pls help me out on how to do this???n how to allocate an IP for my FTP....my analysis is that Airtel provides dynamic IP coz of which i'm having this prob.....am i right???plz help me out....Thx
 
Can You post in an error u r getting.It doesnt matter if you are having dynamic IP atleast localhost should work properly, dynamic IP might create problem for users to access your FTP server from outside any how u need to hv static IP if you want your FTP server to be accessed from outside your domain.
If You r willing for some third party solution then try Serv-U-FTP server Serv-U - FTP Server for Secure File Transfers Over the Internet

P.S:.I hope you hv resarted your IIS server,coz most of the general IIS problems are solved by restarting it
 
thx for replyin guyz....been extremely busy....just saw the replies today......but serv-u if shareware......pls suggest freeware

@ferrar---wat is this freesshd???wats SSHD on the first hand???n wat is this WinSCP???watz the use of it??
 
First of all SSH stands for Secure shell which is default on Linux nowadays on almost all distros. Telnet and FTP are passe(and i'm sure some members will not agree :p ...but for remote access and file transfers i always prefer SSH)

For more info refer: Secure Shell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FreeSshd is an implementation of SSH for windows.

OpenSSH Homepage:

OpenSSH

Popular client for SSH:

Putty: PuTTY: a free telnet/ssh client

Tunnelier(i like this one over WinSCP) Free for personal use:

Bitvise Tunnelier

If you want chroot support for SSH/SFTP:

rssh - restricted shell for scp/sftp

And also a cool program (linux only):

DSH - dancer's shell / distributed shell

Now u see how cool is OpenSSH... u start using it and u will forget FTP.

Regards.
