Question Ftp Files


Hi guys

Just a quick question about FTP files and Apache. I hace my network setup using DHCP and my windows machine will allways have the same IP addy so I was wondering.........

Is it possible to allow FTP access to my var/WWW files so I can upload to it using Macromedia Dreamweaver, but restrict access to that one IP addy??? what programs would you recommend I get or can Apache handle this, with or without a module?

Thx guys

Sure you can!

You will have to setup some simple ftp server which I'm sure comes with your distro. This will handle the ftp-access.

Concerning access from only one ip:

It might be that the ftp-server can be set up to just serve requests from one ip. You could also define a user for ftp whose password is not known to anyone but you.
If you want to be sure, you could also configure your firewall to only accept your IP on Port 21 (TCP) which is the ftp-port.

I myself haven't set up a ftp-server yet so no help on that one. I'm pretty sure there is some useful howto at www.linuxdoc.org.

HTH, Steave.
