[Thetrutv]

Its hard to follow your tutorials

[michaelball123]

Learn to say VISTA properly. The secnd letter of Vista is an "I" not an "EE"...LOL

[host47]

@michaelball123 Actually everyone started saying it incorrectly so even Microsoft went with it. YOU ARE WRONG. I hate when people post disinfo.

1. Unless you plan to secure FTP transactions via SSL then the service user account that is created when service is installed should be fine for anonymous access.

2. Make sure port is open on Windows firewall.

3. Make sure you forward TCP port 21 to the internal ip address of the server.

4. Make sure the folder you have created to host files will allow remote users to write files to that directory.

Most importantly check to make sure your ISP isn't blocking TCP port 21!

[awatemonosan]

@boogyman10o1 Its windows server 2008... Why would you want the servers gui to look perty...

[boogyman10o1]

cuz it looks more presentable

[tiboltan]

Do you prefer this 2008 FTP or other FTP servers like Filezilla.

I've had a hard time setting up and securing IIS7.

[willc2k]

how about with WAMP??

[cicero747]

I am getting a "530 invalid user" error when entering my external IP Address in say Mozilla (e.g. if I want to log on to the ftp site from remote). No problem logging on to the FTP site from at home. Does anyone have any thoughts? thanks.

[GamingHell]

is your port you need to port forward and open them up

[Sealy1986]

I am assuming the home directory you are using for your FTP server has been set up to only allow access to admin accounts... you should be able to go in the security tab of your root FTP folder (like say C:\FTP) and then add the IUSR_USERNAME username to the root FTP folder.

[ivegotalongdong]

you can almost fucking see the video examples! FUCKING WORTHLESS waste on youtue. is there any step by step way of setting up an FTP server on your personal PC so you can exchange large files with friends? fuck!

[Anarcho95]

I agree lol . You found any video or tutorial yet ?

[codecaine]

98 os owned back in the day missed it with all the exploits :)

[Drzeaius]

The start bar looks like 98 because he's got it set up in classic mode. It's easier on the server, and doesn't require as much from the computer. Which is ideal since looks are not important for a server.

[Sealy1986]

...yeah either that or he hasn't enabled the Themes service which is disabled by default. Also he must install the desktop experience feature as well to make server 2008 feel vista-esque. I assume he must use his client machine (the vista ultimate) one more so this is problem not a problem to him.

[BeatwthPhoneBookHurt]

ftp what server?

[andiboydk]

Yea, but it's Windows Server 2008

[skyteknology]

This looks like 1998
