O.o;;
I'll play it safe...

Are you running a webserver?
If so, what program (apache, etc.)?

or

Are you running a SubSpace game server thinking it host webpages instead of zones?

Wild guess, you googled here looking for "server help" and never even heard of SubSpace, right?

Are you hosting from your computer, or from a dedicated server?

FTP server = File Transfer Protocal
A server used to transfer files to users

HTTP servers server html and htm files... webpages
You need HTTP server
google apache or IIS

Wow..he's just begging to be exploited running a web/ftp server with no idea on what he's doing. I give him a week before his computer becomes a spam zombie.

Zombie is too good a condition, it relies on the fact that the machine would still function.
Higher chances it'll get virus'd and formatted.

I've had no problems running my webserver... I use apache 2 with ssl along with the firewall from the router and my internal firewall. Never had a problem with any hacks or anything. Just wish I could use my ftp server with my router.

How can you not?

Yeah, it's not that hard if you have the right FTP server software. I use BulletProof 2.1.5 and I've had no problems. Forward ports that have a high value, up in the 20,000's to 30,000's.

Cyan, he probably means passive mode, although he still doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about.

Read up on Active (PORT)/Passive (PASV) FTP.

Eh, yeah. Forgot to mention that.

And just why are you using passive mode, Contempt?

Contempt+ · Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2006 10:29 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Dunno.. I haven't really looked into switching it to active.

Guest · Offline

Its more dependant upon your roll. If your a host like me with 150+ websites it better to do whats easier for the client(pasv).
