Hi guys me and my friend has bsnl dsl, is there a way to access his resource through my comp and vice versa we both have same router provided by bsnl and it use lan to connect.
There are 2 ways I know to access files on someone on BSNL/MTNL network. Please note these methods will use internet as a carrier and so you will be charged for the usage as per your internet plans… secondly this in no way can surpass the speed you are connected to network.. ie 2Mbps downlink and 512 Kbps uplink… :cool2:
Method one: Involves hosting files you wanna share though IIS on your machone.. since both MTNL / BSNL gives you external web address.. you can download file from your friends PC..
Telling about XP machines--- for vista installing IIS is little different rest is same…
1) put your windows XP cd in the drive and then startïƒ run ïƒ controlïƒ add remove programs-ïƒ add remove windows components -ïƒ choose IIS..(please note if you click details here you can also have a chance to select ftp server … not selected by default)
Install IIS..
2) Now you need to add a virtual directory or better change default directory from wwwroot to say E:\shared assuming this is the directory you need to download files from..
Start IIS manager … startïƒ runïƒ inetmgr Select default website point it too e:\shared enable directory browsing… select basic authentication and disable anonymous… better form security point of view.. you can also change default port from 80 to say 9091 from inetmgr
3) now you can tell your external Ip to your friend via sms or phone or you can used managed dns service like no-ip.com , register for free on no-ip.com and download DUC client and take a domain name like myhomepc.no-ip.biz …
Your buddy can know your ip by pinging your domain name…
Ping myhomepc.no-ip.biz
Your page becomes… http:// myhomepc.no-ip.biz:9091/
Your buddy can download files from here … in case some files give permission denied then their ext has to be added in allowed MIME types thorough inetmgr.
Please note if your popoe connection is on router and you are not using computer for dialing then you have to forward port from router to the machine … forward 9091 in case of http server and 21 in case of ftp server..
Mehod 2 : we will host an ftp server instead of http server … same drill install IIS also select Ftp server this time… launch inetmgr go to default ftp site properties change directory to say e:\shared… give read write or read only access for ftp user..
Add an ftp user to windows users or tell existing windows username and password to your buddy connecting to your pc…. This time connect via
Startïƒ runïƒ cmdïƒ ftp myhomepc.no-ip. Biz
Supply your user name and password and now you can use command like
Ls –lrt (in case unix mode is enabled else dir have to do)
Get/put Mget/mput
Or you can always use filezilla to leech / upload file to your sever remotely…
