How to setup FTP

I'm slightly lost in this, I'm new to servers overall, but I got mine working and was able to open up my ports for remote access, however I don't want to have to get up and walk all the way downstairs everytime I want a new file on the server, so I was wondering how to set that up. Thanks

Hi,

You can use install the FileZilla FTP server under Windows, which works all right with the FileZilla client, available from [sourceforge.net]

You need to set up a username and password on the FileZilla server. Before you can connect, you need to open TCP port 21, possibly also 20, in the Windows firewall, but you should limit the scope to your local subnet. You can also use non-standard ports, and it is best to read a bit about FTP and security.
