D: YOU! I use linux :P i don't care filezilla is compatible with linux AND WINDOWS so i win I use commandline for transfers. well fuck you you're still familiar with ftp .. right? :( Sure, on commandline. I don't use clients. :| IF WE GOT A DOMAIN FOR THE IP THAT FRAN GIVES US Then you'd have to run a DNS server. ok nvm whatever Which would require multiple IPs. we can still connect to IP And probably multiple boxes. which.. isn't a big deal at all it's just numbers and i can save it in my client it's easy address = ip user = user and pw = pw ok basically click and drag from the ftp to the desktop or the desktop to the ftp client YES? WE PLAN ON PUTTING A TORRENT PROGRAM ON IT You still have to install the ftpd, set up user accounts, set folder privledges, give the ftpd read/write access to the directory, ensure inbound/outbound ports are set. AND IT WILL FEED INTO A GIANT FTP disregarding your comment what i said is true yes?! Then you'd have to configure and install VNC/RDP, create connection accounts, give permissions to the torrent program, and configure it to save into the ftpd directories. wtf i still have to install vnc? :( For a linux/BSD box, VNC is required for GUI connections. so i can't just freaking use my ftp thing :( damn it sounded so much easier Oh, it is easy. I do it all the time through SSH. YOU MEAN YOUR TERMINAL? Actually, most of the time I just use my phone, since I can SSH through it from anywhere. Then use SCP to move files.
