First, What, in anybodies opinion, is the best ftp program? Second, I'm having trouble connecting to ANY ftp site, and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. The host name is correct as well as the login and the password, the only thing I can think of is the port number is wrong, but again, I'm new to this ftp stuff.  |

I use Get Right 2.1 get thing off of pubs. Most of the posts on here are the path names and all you have do is paste it as a new download and it will cue whatever files that are in that folder. When I upload I use CuteFTP 4 its a pretty easy app to learn plus I can save the cue list and come back to it later if I have to. The normal port numer is 21 unless the post tell you a specific number. If they dont post one use 21. If you can't log on it could be for many reasons 1. Alot of servers on these sites are personal servers. And only allow a few members at a time on them. If you are using CuteFTP. Watch the message right after it tries to connect It might say Too Many User. If you see that disconnect and try again in an 1/2 hour or so. Don't keep letting it try to connect that is what is callled "hammering" people will ban you for that and you will never get what you want. 2.Some servers go down alot and are not on all the time 3.Sometime people post the wrong IPS (mental errors) 4.or the user or password is not valid any more because too many users are hitting with it and they changed it. and the list could go on and on If you see a post like Jim:warez@65.812.00.123:666The Word "jim" is the user name the word "warez" is the password 65.812.00.123 is the Ip and 666 is the port Please don't click it's not real If it was real you could just click it and most browsers will view the site you can just copy the folder using right click on your mouse and clicking "Copy to" If you go to the Uploading Pub section you can try to upoad something to test it out or download somthing from there. Use the posts called FTP/UPLOAD  try uploading a small app or something then remember where you upped to IP:DIR where upped it then post it somewhere this is a great forum to learn the basics. |

Hello Khattap
You can put up an ftp server by yourself, ore you can find some scanned ftp´s to upload to.
So if you want to start an ftp server you need a ftp server program like the G6 ftp server.
THX ;D ;D
