Hi all,
Need some help in setting up FTP server on Win 7.
Some noob questions.
1) Is FTP server consider a "software application" that can be setup on any computer?
2) If the PC's IP address is 192.168.0.100 and I can setup FTP server on the same PC as 192.168.0.150? or can it be any IP address? Eg; 10.1.1.255?
3) Any concern in choosing the FTP port no?
4) What is the "relationship" between a windows account and the FTP server? Do I need to specially create a window account for the FTP server?
5) I had setup a FTP server with service started, but can't seemed to be able to assess to the FTP drive.
Say the FTP server is 192.168.0.150, When I do FTP (dos prompt) 192.168.0.150 there is no prompting of password or username.
However if I FTP (dos prompt) 192.168.0.100 (PC IP address where the FTP server is installed), there is prompting of password and username, but still not able to log in at all.
I think I might be getting the concept wrong.....

I have a PC with FTP server setup, the pc is connected to another laptop via cross cable.
The remote laptop is able to ping the first laptop.....
My main question is how do I know that the FTP server is being setup correctly?
Thanks.
