    Who can help with various Windows FTP server questions?


    I'd like to give my dad access to some pdf's on my computer while at the same time practice some of the things I'm learning for network+.

    What I'm wanting is that when he logs in, he will have access to a folder with books at C:\users\chris\books and a folder with music at C:\users\chris\music.

    I tried creating two ftp sites, but it seems that only one can be running at a time?
    Is FTP limited to one folder and any subfolders inside it?
    --------------------
    In all the youtube videos I watch on setting up an FTP server in windows, they all make a separate user account for signing into the FTP server. What is the point of that account?
    ---------------------
    Is there any way that a person logging into my FTP server could find access to other files and folders I did not grant access to? Suppose I make a folder in C:/users called FTP Folder, if someone knew what he was doing, could he find his way out of that one folder and start exploring other areas on my HDD?

    :)

    Good FTP-server program

    Hi!

    Does anybody have a suggestion for a good & simple FTP/SCP/SFTP server program. I now use a program called Home FTP Server (supporting onle FTP) but wasn´t able to change the server port from 21 to another number and thats why I wanna try something else.

    Disconnecting an FTP Server

    Might want to look in your control panels Programs and Features list for an FTP server or client & also while there look under the 'Turn windows features on/off' at Internet info services.
