FTP access in a local network

A good start for configuration would probably be Microsoft's support site. Here a URL to a query I posted that has over 40 articles: http://tinyurl.com/vtt It should contain something you're looking for.

I also use IIS's ftp service on my homelan to transfer data. Basically I installed IIS using the add/remove applet (windows components) in control panel. I only installed the FTP service because I didn't need the web/smtp/nntp services.

For my client, I just use the FTP browser ability in Internet Explorer. I would point the address box of IE to: ftp://x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is my PC running the FTP service.

Good luck.

Here is a very good command reference:

In addition, if you get to a command line ftp prompt, ftp> you can enter help and get information.

Here is a good "mini how-to" on FTP:

Good luck...hope this helps!
