    what the hell ill give it a try. whats THE WORST that could happen, now im downing filezilla. im assuming when i set it up i use port 21 or something but how do i set it up with an IP cause on dialup that liike changes each time you connect doesnt it???
  • YoshiYoshi
    Yes. It does. You may want a static IP

    Just get No-IP/DynDNS/Other Dynamic DNS and run the updater every time you connect so it'll be current.

    To the best of my knowlwedge, you can't on dial-up.

    Sorry.

    I'm thinking there is other ways.

    Q care to explain what No-IP/DynDNS/Other Dynamic DNS , and where do i get this thing
  • QQ
    You know how my svr is wwsvr.bounceme.net? Well whenever Comcast deigns to change my IP (Rarely), I just go to www.bounceme.net (No-IP), and tell them that my new IP is 68.x.x.x and they adjust wwsvr.bounceme.net so it points there now. It happens really rarely for me so I do it manually, but since dialup IPs change way to often, you'd probably be better off using the No-IP update app that they let you download if you want.

    I use to have a bbs back in the day....Nitric, go to no-ip-com... and d/l the no-ip duc program, then set up an account on no-ip.com...
  • NitricAcid666NitricAcid666
    ok i will , when i get home im at the library now, damn these comps make mine looke like a 8088 :(
  • chigowolfschigowolfs
    you cant have everything in life..... I believe filezille uses port 21 automaticaly.... so you really should have to set up any ports. just some users, passwords if you want, and what directory for your ftp. everything is pretty easy to use
  • NitricAcid666NitricAcid666
    right on, EXCEPT all of the library comps only have two icons on the screen everything else is locked out, except My computer and IE!!

    Well they dont want people messing up the computer... or installing things on them.... I honestly can not blame them for doing that.
  • NitricAcid666NitricAcid666
    me neither but that isnt the deal the bothers me and i mean by that is that they use IE
  • chigowolfschigowolfs
    because IE has been around so long, and most IT dept believe in it "security" and also non conflicts to other software programs... Plus IE is user friendly..think about it, how long did you use IE before moving onto another browser, on my one computer at home I still use IE that is because I dont feel like teaching everyone there how to use something else
  • BODBOD
    people use IE because they dont know about other browsers. think about it, whats the point of using something else if what you're using is already there?
  • NitricAcid666NitricAcid666
    ^ good point. i would suggest to them to use FF but come on most IT guys should know the disgusting truth about IE
  • nighticenightice
    Ffx + IE skin + toolbar hax0ring.

    Problem solved.
  • BODBOD
    its still not there when windows is installed
  • QQ
    It is if you make in image of the drive (Which I'd expect a place like a library with many machines whould have learned to do)!

    Speaking of IE in a library. guess what? The Burlington Country Central Library uses Ffx! I found out looking thought the card catalog!
