Does anyone know how I can set it up so that I can access my PC's hard drive for FTP transfers through a web page. The web page will have .htaccess to protect it and the PC is always on with a fixed IP address. Thanx D

my web site hosting company and my ftp location are different. My web site is hosted by a hosting company. My FTP location is my always on PC which has a fixed IP address. I want to go through my web site when away from home to access my PC's hard drive via the FTP. I don't like to make things easy!!! Thanx doug

Why not just install a ftp server on your machine? Windoze has quite a few easy ones and linux has proftpd which is really easy to install.

that is what I have done (Serv-U FTP) but I don't seem to be able to get at it from the web. Is there a trick to accessing the ftp program remotely? I have been typing in "ftp://and the IP address" but it times out and tells me there was no response

Why not just use a ftp program like WinSock FTP (free for personal use)...

I can't rely on a client side ftp program because I want access from anywhere that there is a pc with internet access, whether it has ftp client software or not.

Then you'll need to get a ftpd daemon that offers a web interface, browsers act differently than what most ftp daemons expect... the easiest alternative that i can think of is to install apache web server and use .htaccess to prevent anyone without a username and password from accessing your site (computer) and then just set root to whatever directory you want access to...

I also want to setup a web ftp interface into a website of mine. I currently use Bulletproof FTP Server to manage my FTP accounts and all of the directories, etc.

I want to add the ability of users to being able to access any of the FTP's hosted on the site, through the website itself. Each one of us uses a server program to set us up. One is hosted by his web provider while the other 2 are directly from the computer. We use DynDns' Direct Update to handle the IP & Host name issue.

What exactly is a FTPd Daemon and what would be a good one that might work in this type of situation? If you need any extra info, let me know.
