Hi again,

I know Ive asked this before, but I never managed it last time - or previously, lol. I think last time a complication was that I was a client on a home network with shared internet access - I dont have that anymore - mines the master.

What I want to do is set up a FTP server on my machine. I have Bulletproof and Serv-U programs to go at, not yet installed. What I dont get so far, is that becuase an FTP goes off your IPaddress - what does everyone do who's on broadband and has a 'dynamic' ip address?

Obviously I want it to be free, just set up on my machine without having to rely on any other service, just a little something to share files with thats always 'up' when my machines on.

What are the dangers of FTP's on your machine?, how do you sort out firewalls and virus scanners for it to run smoothly but safely? how can I issue an address if the address will change everyday?

If anyone can answer, please explain it like Im 4 years old. Dont worry about sounding condescending! lol.

Cheerio

Sirius.


I know I should install the programs and try it out - but I dont wanna risk doing anything wrong or starting off on the wrong foot. lol.
