How Do You Set Up An Ftp Server On Windows Xp Professional?
• First, you should start by retrieving your Windows XP CD. • Next, click the Start button and go to the Control Panel. • After that, select “Add/Remove Windows Components.” • Select “Internet Information Services” under “Windows Components.” • Click “details” and select the “File Transfer Protocol (FTP)” service. (Remember that this will also automatically select “Common Files” and “Internet Information Services Snap-In.”) • Click OK and follow the instructions for the install Wizard (or you can just push next if you don’t feel like reading). Be prepared with your Windows XP CD, because it might prompt you for it if you haven’t already installed it. Once it is done, you might have to restart your computer after this. • After that, all you need to do is just paste the files you want to be public into “C:\INETPUB\FTPROOT.” Note that by default, these files are read-only and public. Public meaning that anyone who knows the IP address may download copies from it. • There’s more to go! Now
