To establish an FTP server, you need to download TYPSoft FTPServer (hereinafter referred to as TYP) at http://www.skycn.com/soft/1289.html with a file size of 744KB. For Windows 9X/2000/XP systems. After downloading, extract it to any folder, and you can start working without double-clicking the program. Of course, some simple settings are needed.

1. Setting the port

If the port 21 set by default in TYP is occupied, the performance status is as shown in Figure 1. The list will show "Port already in use.Choose another one". The server cannot be started. At this time, we need to manually reset the TYP port by selecting the “Setup FTP” tab in the window shown in Figure 1, then entering the new port number in the box after “FTP Port”, and then clicking The "Save" button below can be used.

Client Access

Once the server is set up, you can let others access our system. You can access it in the browser when accessing, or you can access it through FTP commands. Below we briefly Explain how to use these two ways to access the FTP server.

1.Access using a browser

When using a browser to access an FTP server, we can enter the IP address of the FTP server directly in the address bar of the browser. There are two types of IP addresses, one is the IP address inside the LAN, and the other is the IP address of the Internet. The format of the input is as follows: ftp://***.****.***.***, then press Enter.

If the FTP server has set a password, press Enter to automatically pop up a window. Follow the prompts and enter the correct username and password in the specified location to log in to the directory specified by the FTP service. According to the permissions set in the server, you can download, upload, modify files, delete, and so on.

2. Use the FTP command to access

To access the server through FTP commands, you must know some common commands. Here are a few common FTP commands (assuming the IP address of the FTP server) Is 192.168.0.1, the shared directory is ABC).

(1) Connect to the FTP server

If the system is Windows 9X, we can operate in MS-Dos. If the system is Windows 2000/XP, we can do it in the command line mode.

First, type "ftp" in the command line or DOS window and hit enter, then type "open 192.168.0.1 port" after the "ftp>" prompt (port is the port of the FTP server) No.) At this point, the command line waits for us to enter the username, enter the legal username and then enter the corresponding password. Then we can log in to the FTP server (Figure 3).

(2) Upload file

After successfully logging in to the server, we can upload the file. Before uploading a file, we'd better create a folder and upload the file to this folder, which is convenient for file management.
