FTP Proggy???

[_=KTF=_]

just wondering which ftp proggy would be the best for me to use. im just looking for something free/uber cheap to host some files for ppl. it can run on either linux/win98/winXP, i would prefer something that will run on win98 as thats whats already installed and im lazy

I use FlashFXP http://www.flashfxp.com/, it's fairly cheap at only $25 and works very well. You get 30 days free trial if you want to check it out.

I like FileZilla: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

its free and they have both a server and a client

I use smart ftp. By far my favorite and really easy to use with a really easy interface.

Vsftp for for linux. I believe it comes with quite a few distros.

[edit] slap me for being so dumb - he did say linux too...

I'm also looking for a ftp software that I can host for my mates. Tried downloading filezilla but could find a way to host a ftp server.

http://www.serv-u.com offers a free ftp server app (personal version) with up to 5 accounts although I've never tried it myself. I think you can run an ftp server using IIS too if you have XP pro or Win2K.

[edit] sorry =KTF=, I just realised that's what you were after too...

aite cool thx peeps, ill start out at the top of the list with flashfxp

[GPCOLA]

remember flashfxp is just a client so you won't be able to host files with it (you could upload to others obviously) - but check posts 3 & 8 for server apps.

I used flashfxp for its 60 day trial...worked very nicely. Now I use smartftp, works equally as well, but I liked flash's interface more.

EDIT: Just realized your using this to host files... ...all the ones recommened above should work. Serv-u is the easiest IMO.

[steel102]

flashfxp because that was what was recommended for ftping to xbox. It does everything I want it to.

[_=KTF=_]

ok im givin serv-u a try. but im having a bit of trouble trying to get it set up with my router and all. i tried entering in my internal ip and set it up but i couldnt access the server from any of my other comppys and when i put my external ip in it wont work :/

edit: well it might possibly work for you guys , its not working for me tho

i have the name as ftp.ktf.me and if the name and password works their both eocf

[_=KTF=_]

bloody hell, this thing aint working for sh!t. why do i always have a helluva time trying to get my **** home network to actually work

I used to use Bulletproof FTP to host but its not free though.

Me too..great program

[(sin)morpheus]

Proftpd is a good one for linux. Serv-u is definetly top notch, I used it for a couple years before I got hooked on linux and changed all my servers to use debian.

same here. Bulletproof is the only one I could properly get to working.

you downloaded the filezilla client or the server? if you didn't download the server do so.. then you simply connect to the server via the server interface to configure the server [setup users/permissions/a directory for the ftproot/etc..]

Two Free and Very Good FTP Servers:

Ceasar FTP -or- Pablo FTP.

I use Ceasar on a Regular basis... its very easy and has wizards... btw there both free!
