I want to setup an FTP server at my house to be left powered up 24/7. Not a gaming server (my DSL is too slow for that) I just want to be able to "go out there" from wherever I am and snatch things like Word docs/JPEGs/Excel sheets/etc at will. *EDIT* Something exactly like what LAST has
I know nothing about FTP, but am very familiar with networked drives if that means anything. Here are some other facts.
1. My LAN at home is behind a hardware firewall (router, actually) I want it to stay that way.
2. I would like to have my FTP server password-protected. Something along the lines of I type the addy 123.34.23.01 (or whatever) and a dialog box pops up. No p-word, no entry.
3. I want to have the server isolated from the rest of my LAN as much as possible. I realize that if someone REALLY knows what they are doing, there's little to stop them, but I want to keep the average hacker kid away from the rest of the LAN
Is there a resource I can read up on to teach me how to do all this stuff? If someone could please point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
