Hello. New member!
Well, I wanted to start an FTP server on my computer, mainly for curiosity, but hopefully also for practical purposes.
My friend told me I have to port forward in order to run an ftp server, and I have an SMC barricade router, and I followed directions found over on portforwardDOTcom/english/routers/port_forwarding/SMC/7004ABR/FTPDOThtm
after that, i played around with the config file a bit.... And then I tried ftp localhost:
Quote:
root@ubuntu:/home/mike # ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
220 Welcome to Mike's FTP closet of useless crap.
Name (localhost:root): ftpsecure
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
150 Here comes the directory listing.
226 Directory send OK.
ftp> mkdir asdf
257 "/asdf" created
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
150 Here comes the directory listing.
drwx------ 2 1001 1001 4096 Jul 28 06:08 asdf
226 Directory send OK.
