    Dear forum readers:

    Am just starting out. Programmer, long distance, just asked me for directions for FTP on my website. Wish to comply.

    Help, please,
    Yshua

    Would like to add that a PHPmyAdmin/Setup/config.php file specifies both a password defining for "blowfish_secret" and a $cfg['UpLoadDir'] = '', which may have something to do with an ftp facility encoded. Still looking into all this....

    You can try buying a vps and install ftp from there.

    In order to use FTP you'll need an ftp daemon (ftpd). I suggest installing something like pure-ftpd or ProFTPD

    Best,

    You don't even need an FTP server, you can use SFTP through the SSH port ;)

    That will be confusing for him as it opens the root , then he has to change path :| and he is so new to servers that he don't know what VPS is :p

    Hello, Bharat V., then upon lookup, this is a VPS! Now does vsftpd work on Windows 7? I still want to pursue that type of option with a similar ftp handler software, either way.
    Thank you, Yshua

    Hi,

    If your server is windows use Filezille its the best FTP client available till date.

    Enjoy :)
