Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - I want to run my own FTP server, but how?

**BMR777** · 05-21-2005, 09:54 AM

Here is the deal. I am planning on getting a computer and installing XP Pro on it and using it as an FTP server. My question is, how do I go about setting up a computer to be the FTP host, what software do I need, if any, and what ports/settings would I need to adjust on my router/firewall?

Any help in setting up an FTP server would be appreciated.
