I have been messing around with FTP servers for the last couple of days. I am using war ftpd to transfer files across my network. I do not know if it can be accessed across the internet, it may only be accessable localy.

w2k includes IIS which includes an ftp server, just go into add programs, windows components (whatever it is called), just be sure to drill down and check the box for ftp as well as world wide web

it works like a charm....so war ftp can be access thru the internet too...

hmmm...a slight problem though...i allow access to only one folder. when ppl initially connect to the ftp, they access that particular folder, but when they tried to go up one level, they are able to access my whole harddrive!!! they are able to see the contents but not upload/download. how do i enforce access to only one folder??

I haven't used war ftp but I believe u can lock the user to their home directory, and/or only grant the neccessary permission (ie: list/read) to that home folder and its sub folders.

Don't forget passwords are transferred in plain text for ordinary ftp 😉

read the documentation on how to chroot the users to the home directory
