Stupid is right. I’ve spent hours setting up a windows XP pro computer as a FTP server and none of them said anything about the advance tab and settings button. Thanks! You just ended my quest… onto life.

Can anyone explain to me how to access my WD Livebook (HDD attached to my home router) without using an online service like Monet? Can I do this without using a paid service? And can I allow others to access it as well?

Go to control Panel. Locate your firewall settings. Once in your firewall settings, Click the Exceptions tab at the top (should be right of general).
1. Click “Add Port”.
2. For the name type “HTTPS”
3. For Port number type “443″
4. Make sure TCP is checked.
5. Press okay and that’s all ;D

Is there any good recommended software we can directly install and use to connect to ftp.

Thank you so much Benjamin!!!! I’m been beating my head against a wall for about 2 hours on this one. I thought I had my ports opened and set. I didn’t realize that stupid Windows needed to be told 2x what to do.

Thanks a million!

everyone here trying to use ftp needs to remember to forward the port on your router, as for prashat you need to change the settings on the ftp server software.

Another important thing to remember is that you may also need to go into the ‘Advanced’ tab, select your network connection, click ‘Settings’, and enable FTP on the Settings screen. Windows Firewall is so stupid that it needs to be told twice to allow FTP traffic.

Good morning! After reading your web sites
instructions on opening up my FTP ports, I was able to do so effortlessly and save myself a trip to the computer repair.
Recently my computer was infected with the A360 Virus…I run a clean computer and I thought I had a good anti virus system in it, but I was wrong and it really took hold of my sysem.
I took my Dell to Best Buy where the Geek Squad got the virus out of my computer, but my ports were also infected (my opinion) I learned this later in the evening as I was trying to work with my programs. The guy at Norton told me to get my FTP ports looked at…Best Buy never did and they charged me $200.00. I did my research and found you on Google, Thanks to you I now have my computer back. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much for helping me with this problem.
