Ftp Question

[Los]

Can you set up an FTP server if you don't have a static IP?

[Schuler]

With Bulletproof FTP you can do this. I&#39;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&#39;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&#39;ll virtually be the same as FTP.

[Schuler]

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.
