Hello
I am trying to set up an FTP server on my home PC to transfer some files amongs friends. I have installed Filezilla FTP server and have managed to get my users set up and there directorys along with file rights. What I am stuck on and can find no information further on is the 'Server address'
When I first start the server I am presented with a box titled 'Connect to Server' below that are two boxes one for the server address and one for the port. The server address defaults each time to 127.0.0.1 and will connect. If I then go into internet explorer and type
ftp://*127.0.0.1 it goes to the server and gives me the log in box for users. If I put the users info in then it goes to the correct directory I have set up. Now what has got me stumped is that 127.0.0.1 is not my IP address, If I put my actual IP address in the start up box connection fails. So my question is what do I have to do to set this up so that the server address is my IP address and freinds and relations just have to type
FTP://*then my IP to connect to it in internet explorer.
Any help would be appreciated.
