But, how can other user access my ftp at home using the Internet, and How can you gave a name for your ftp site ex. <a href="ftp://myftp.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">ftp://myftp.org</a>? I have a DSL Internet connection at home and my FTP linux box is connected on a router. In other words, How can I publish it publicly and accessing it using domain-name? </blockquote><div> If you don't want to purchase a domain name, you can use a service like DynDNS to use a free hostname for you isp assigned ip address. See their website for details: <a href="http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/">http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/</a> If you go this route, you'll probably want to install something like the ddclient package to periodically update your ip address with DynDNS. Don't forget, you'll also need to make sure that your router is configured to forward ftp to your server (TCP 20 & 21). -- Mitch </div> </div>
