Can you set up an FTP server if you don't have a static IP?
With Bulletproof FTP you can do this. I'm sure with other clients you can too. It automatically checks for changes in IP addressess every <whatever you designate> minutes. However this would be tough to access your FTP with a dynamic address unless you have a DNS address. I don't know much about these so hopefully someone else can help fill you in. :ph34r:
Yea you can but you would have to keep people updated with your current IP or use DNS.
Instead of using FTP, just use a service like http://www.no-ip.com. You host your own website from your computer and just put some files you want people to download, and it'll virtually be the same as FTP.
www.noip.com was what I was thinking of. This will direct people to your site/FTP without them having to know what your IP changed to.
sweet thanks guys...hopefully ill have my server up soon
i use serv-u ftp try that out
they need to make a direct port shareing program.. just share a file with a password for a few mins or something.
