    Host ftp between 2 PC's trough ethernet cable?
    « on: February 11, 2010, 10:49:07 AM »
    Hi there,
    Currently I am connecting two PC's (running windows 7) trough an ethernet cable. I configured there IP's so they are in the same range (192.168.0.2 on PC number one and PC number 2: 192.168.0.3), and if I do a 'ping test' in the commandline, both PC's find eachother.
    Now, I hosted filezilla server. But when I type in my other pc 'ftp://192.168.0.2" or I type in 192.168.0.3 in the filezilla client, the ftp server running on my other PC can't be found. I guess I am doing something wrong.
    Can anybody help me how to make it work? Any help will be much appreciated
    Thanks in forward

    I hosted filezilla server
    They have both a Wiki and a forum.
    http://filezilla-project.org/
    Have you looked into the resources they offer?
    Are you using a router?
    Will your firewall allow ftp ports?

    Forgot to ask.
    Are you familiar with FTP clients as well as other types  of files transfer?
    Is there a reason to prefer filezilla over other file transfer tools?
