Having a FTP server at home is pretty cool.

[FrustratedUser]

So my house mate got his rig built now (A64 3500, 1GB, GF6800, bla bla bla) and it;s cool.
Anyhow, he starts asking me about the router and firewall at home. I tell him a ftp server would be cool.

So he plays his magic and now it's working. Pretty cool to be able to move files from work. Uploading at 220KB/s now.

Congrats?

 

[Rudee]

That's your idea of cool?

 

[LuckyTaxi]

which OS is it running

 

[edro]

I loves it... you can have access to your files at home... from work

Hopefully the admins at work don't wonder who is uploading so much stuff.

FTP is so...so...1990's

VPN is the wave of the future

 

[kevman]

ssh'ing to home and using remote desktop is even better

so setup a sharepoint server...all the power of "network drives" with web interface and vpn security

yeah it costs more and is 10x harder to setup but thats why its the "wave of the future"

Haaha, yeah "FTP is so '90s" but it works.

Better to have FTP than dreaming of having a connection.

Well, he didn't built that machine to be a FTP server. We just happened to screw around with the home network and shazzzam!

220KBps upstream from a home connection ?

No not quite. Since I am uploading TO my server at home FROM work I can take advantage of the 3Mbit download speed of the cable service..
If I am downloading from the server I only get 275kbit.

You see?

 

[rh71]

oh "move files from work" oops.

 

Having a FTP server at home is pretty cool, in 1995.
