Creating an FTP server behind a router

Creating an FTP server behind a router

Why FTP'

You have never wanted to send a 30MB file to a friend'

But his email box is limited to 10MB… and sending a CD will take too long via the post'

Here is the solution:

After having connected the computer with which you want to install an FTP server to the router, you will need to enter a few essential settings.

Go into the properties of your network card and select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click on properties.

 

This is where you input your TCP/IP settings, and in this case you should not let windows attribute an IP address. You should input the following:

 

Specify your IP address:

My FTP server will be 192.168.0.2 (my choice!)

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway (this will be the address of the Netgear router): 192.168.0.1

The DNS servers here are those of Free, but you should input those of your internet service provider.

Next, after having restarted the network, we will look at the router.
