It says ‘no such file’ despite the file exists there -i can see the file in windows explorer- ; i guess it’s about the filename which is in Turkish and i am using windows xp en. and internet exp. 7 en. but i couldn’t solve the problem

My company is getting a new FTP server. Is XP sufficient, or is the cost of Win2003Server still justified for merely running an FTP server on this machine?

Also- what is the best practice for FTP… Do i really need RAID1 for OS & RAID5 for data? Thats how our main servers will be setup, but i’m not sure its necessary on something as simple as an FTP machine.

I need to expose this machine as FTP to around 500 users.So,Could anybody tell me whether to put OS as Windows XP?
Windows 2003 server/Windows 2000 has some problems with my machine.

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.

I’m trying to add a new FTP network place in Windows XP. But the problem is, there was an old connection to the same server only a different account. Even though I delete the old one and creted a new one with the new account, when I double click the icon, it still logs me in to the old account (it’s obviously cached somewhere). I don’t have admin access to the server otherwise I’d delete the old account. So anyone know if you can clear the network places Internet connections history?
