    How to setup an FTP Server
    Hello,

    Can someone please help me I have recently installed server 2003 and I'm trying to make an FTP.

    1. Do I need to register an FTP
    2. I also wanted to make it so the computers around my house save to the server

    Thank you

    So you have set up a computer on your home network to act as an authentication server (users have to login to the server)? You also want to use this server as a central file server AND an FTP server?

    For the central file server, just create a network share and have the client computers map to it.

    For FTP, you can use IIS or any of the free FTP servers out there. If you want people outside your network to connect to it, you either have to register a domain name or use the server's IP address.

    Well the clients either have to map to the share or add them as a Network Place.
