Posts Tagged ‘computer’

I want to share some movies, pictures and music with another person from another city.

I want to bring everything to my computer as is, with directories in place.
mget worked great but I still had to go into each directory. Oh well, it’s Ms Dos, what did I expect ???

I’d like to be able to allow my friends and family to download certain files from my computer (pictures, music, etc). What’s the best way to do this for free?

Is FTP a good way to go about this? If so, how do I do it?

me that eith to check my permissions of that I dont have permissions to delete any files ? its my account why?

I have a FTP server running on a separate computer. Its operation is verified.

I wrote a .cmd file to use with a batch to automate downloading files to the Windows XP Pro computer. The firewall noticed I was using FTP the first time I tested, and it asked if I wanted to Block or UnBlock. I chose UnBlock. I continued and I was able to connect to the server in FTP, but when I tried to download files, it reported errors and sat trying to download instead of actually downloading.

I suspected the firewall, so I disabled the firewall and the files transfer fine. I have left instructions with the user about disabling the firewall, doing the FTP transfer and then re-enabling it, but I only want that to be a temporary work around.

Windows XP Pro experts, tell me what I am missing to make this work while the firewall stays up. I’m sure the user will forget to put the firewall back up and that will cause problems I don’t want.
