FTP Scanning

[ricmartinho]

I also use Filezilla but I install it differently. In the beginning I used Quick n easy FTP but kept getting a lot of calls because users stopped the server by right clicking on the icon next to the clock.

When I install Filezilla I uncheck "Start Menu Shortcuts" and "Desktop icon" and on "Please choose how the interface should be started" I choose "Start Manually". This way Filezilla is hidden for the users (you don't have to go to settings and choose "Start Minimized") but the FTP server still runs on the background. I also don't create a group, I just create the user.

The only problem I have is that I can't get Filezilla to work with the hostname of the PC. I always have to change the PC to a fixed IP (or lock it in the router).

With Quick n Easy I didn't have that problem. It worked with host name as a charm.

Re. I can't get Filezilla to work with the hostname of the PC.

Filezilla probably can't find the DNS server.
The firewall could be blocking local ARP requests?

Is the entire network DHCP or all fixed IP's?
If its a home/small office router: assign the router as a [x] DHCP server and point Filezilla to the router as its DNS server.
If changing to a DHCP network;you may like to reserved router fixed IP's address to the printers etc...

Hi There.. i think you are just the guy i'm looking for.
i also am struggling to get filezilla working with the computer hostname and i need to set it up like that as the client's ip changes and then the setup needs to be done again.
i see here that you used quick and easy ftp and it work with the host name, i did download quick and easy ftp but still does not work with the host name.
is there any tips you can give on how to get this working with a host name please.
Thank you.

Based on your reply you have no room to be calling anyone anything.

Not mention you already have collected multiple Red cards which that at least one other senior member agrees with me. Your disrespect has also been reported to the administration. Straighten up your act before you get banished.

I calls them as I sees them. When you have as many posts, green card and Rep Power as I have, you will have that privileged as well. To quote what I had replied previously "Go away grave digger.

You apparently did not read the second line. The common consensus is that if you dig up posts that are over a year old your ARE a grave digger.
