Thanks for the heads up John. I'll be very careful. I don't think that I'll be getting much traffic from my FTP.

Of course you can run an ftp on your pc. I used to run Bulletproof ftp. I suspect he was mistaking a server and a client, likewise the person who referred you to ftp explorer. Just one thing though. A lot of ISP's don't like people running them, due to the traffic they generate.

I thought FTP was a server that was actually based on a PC as opposed to on the web? ----- Original Message ----- From: Damon To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 22, 2009 5:05 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Wanting to set up an FTP Server You need to buy space from a web provider like 34sp.com or hostpapa.co.uk and enable the anonymous FTP thingy on the control panel (Cpanel). I find hostpapa is a fairly accessible provider as far as access to the control panel goes ... but I'd be interested to hear how accessible other providers serverspace is. I use Cute FTP. I prefer version 5 which I get from oldversions.com - it's more jaws friendly. Later versions feel they have to get more complicated. I've yet to suss how cute FTP 8 is any better and it's certainly less usable or intuitive. ----- Original Message ----- From: Amro Bilal To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 11:59 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Wanting to set up an FTP Server James, try ftp explorer.
