[Hogg]

Alot of people been asking me lately on how to set up an FTP Server.
So i am going to show you guys on how to create an FTP Server on your PC.

Well first off you have to get an static IP-Address
Necessity for getting this static IP-Address is that your not
suppose to use your own IP-Address.

The main reason why you don't want people to see your IP-Adress because they
can use it against you. so it's better that you stay anonymous!

STEP 1:

1) Goto no-ip.com & create yourself a free account.
2) Now that your account been created you will receive your account password via mail to your email address.
3) After getting your password login to your account of no-ip.com
5) Type any hostname you want (eg:-aj-muzik) & select any domain from the given list (eg:-ftpserve.com) Click on Submit.
6) Now you have owned your own static address (example: aj-muzik.serveftp.com)
7) Now click downloads button which is present above on the page & click on which operating system your
using & then download DNS update client.
After getting downloaded, you have to install this software & login here with your email addresss & p/w when asked for it.
