alique89 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I have a d-link di 714p+ router and a few Xp comps and one Xp pro. I want to make the pro into a nas or sever so i can back up stuff and get info when i'm at friends places. My small problem is that i donno how to, but i would like to learn? pls.. :?: would a ftp server be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alique89 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 I don't think its going to be a problem. Fore the fact that i can't load it further then the boot then my comp seems to kill one of the actions and then i hear the war cry of the pc.

Loki Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I have had a lot of success with Cerberus FTP. Its insanely easy to setup and quite easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanda333 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 a little off topic, but u said you have a couple comps running xp, and one running xp pro? if you ever get the chance you should switch all of them over to xp pro (more features particularily with networking, which is of interest to you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alique89 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 The thing is the pro that i have is not like by microsoft. so i'm sticking with what i got. and i have no money. (Thanks guys i got an ftp server working now!!!!ya!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLSS Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Google HFS me and my buds transfer porn almost everyday via hfs for mass file transfer HFS isnt handy for u'd need to click each file .... i advise the free TYPSoft FTP Server it can be downloaded from http://php.typsoft.com/download.php?id=2 their homepage is http://en.typsoft.com/ its easy to use , small footprint ,portable and for me it works @ school (and hfs doesn't ...) ps also take a look @ http://www.portablefreeware.com lots of great portable apps :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
