How to let others browse my network on the net? [file server]
Q: I want to be able to a select few of my friends give access to my file server via a net connection, there is a program I can get (without spending $ $ $) that allow them to be that do?
Best Answer: Get an Apple Airport. You can have a network through hard wire and wireless, at least that is how it works on my network.
Re:You don't need a tutorial for GuildFTPD.
Re:You can find a Tutorial to set your Intrenet Server here:
DNS – Domain Name System. (http://www.dslwebserver.com/main/DNS.html)
Re:if your fileserver runs linux, you should check out proftpd.
Another thing you could do is set up a VPN that they log in to and then they could mount your sharud drives as network shares … but that can get complicated
Re:I'd just setup something like GuildFTPD (http://www.guildftpd.com/), it's simple, and it'll allow you to share files easily.
Re:Setup IIS and/or FTP Server. Port fowarding on your router for the port 21 for ftp and 80 for HTTP.
