How to set up an FTP

[22b]

What do I need to do to be able to type an IP address in and get my shared folder remotely?

I have a bunch of movies in a folder on my PC and I want to be able to access them from school, work, anywhere?

I have a free FTP software (smartFTP) but how do I assign an address to my folder so others can download them from me?

Any help

You would need to load windows FTP server and have a static IP address. There is also other FTP server software for non NT systems that do not have IIS on the install CD.

from a web browser type in ftp:// with the server IP address and it should load.

If you are setting up FTP on a NT machine you might want to create a user and give permissions to the FTP folder.

ftp://user:pass@192.168.1.23 is the syntax if you want to use login/password in the address bar.
