![]() For similar reasons, that is why I do not use RDP (port 3389) over internet for remote access (apart from PITA of having to deal with ISP dynamic addresses needing a DDNS service).Īlso, it is better to use SFTP if you are going to use FTP at all.Īs you say, this is probably not relevant to OP based on later information. Enter your FTP host address, Port number (21 by default) and the FTP User/Password. Open 'File' -> 'Site manager' and then click on 'New site'. If you would like to store your connection please use the 'Site Manager' option. ![]() ![]() JimboYeah - I just really wanted to point out FTP is not the most secure service these days, and hackers monitor and often exploit port 21. Hit 'the 'Quickconnect' button and you will be connected via FTP to your hosting space. I agree old standard FTP isn't the best but until the OP's last post I didn't realize he simply wanted someone to be able to access his domain. Using a Hosting service is a lot more secure for small office and home users rather than trying to run a file server from your own Internet ISP - also some ISP's also aren't very keen on you doing that type of activity on their networks. Personally I also would do it via a proper web interface on the domain - usually you can use built in application things like wordpress etc to build your web site but there's always a quick file up / download facility too - you can password protect that stuff easily enough and by reading the log files on your domain server should easily tell you if anybody is trying to access the site who shouldn't be. I showed the built in facility nearly all domain hosting services have as standard thse days.ĭomain servers if the OP has something like cPanel (which he has) are quite secure in allowing read / write to a specific directory on his domain - rather like typical file download from any web site. I think the OP just wanted to allow a user or whatever to access his domain server to get / send a file. There are better and more secure ways to set up file servers these days eg using Cloud services, VPNs etc.Hi cereberus Frankly, using FTP is really old hat, and rather insecure by modern standards.
