Sharing my ftp

[Rustinov 0]

everything in the title.

I move very often from home to my holydays house where I have a ftp (Synology box) containing all my shared files.

When I leave I'm obliged to save my ftp on a USB device what a burden :crying: .

I'd like to share it from the two locations (in my fav network under windows XP SP2 for example).

Is there a way? I know one which is working perfectly but the guy doesn't want to give me any clue on how to do that!

I own my hub and want to share all my library from anywhere.

Any help?

Thks in advance .

Sorry for my english.

I am also very interested in this one (my ISP has several LARGE ftp servers).

A working interface has been developped by the DCP team. If somenone can get it......

Otherwise.....

In fact my ftp appears in my fav network under windows explorer but not under the same fav network under settings and sharing options. Why ??????

If the FTP does not appear in your My Computer Layout display in Settings>Share, add it manually using DCPP.xml.

Thks Satan but where can I locate this DCCP.xml ?

Otherwise I found this way:

1. Perform a NSLOOKUP for the FTP site, e.g.

nslookup ftp.microsoft.com

make a note of the IP address

2. Edit the LMHOSTS file (in %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc)

3. Add line

<ip address> MicrosoftFTP #PRE

e.g. 207.46.133.140 MicrosoftFTP #PRE

4. Save the file

5. Open a CMD.EXE session. Enter command:

nbtstat -R

This purges and reloads the name table cache

6. Type command:

net view \\MicrosoftFTP

You should see information on the site

7. Now map a drive (to share data)

net use * \\MicrosoftFTP\data /user:anonymous

8. All done. It will pass a drive letter for the connection

Is this ok for you ? doesn't work here. :)

DCPlusPlus.xml can be found in the settings folder of Apex DC.

If the FTP is on your network simply add it as such \\FTP\MyStuff

This need to go into the directories section at the bottom of the file.

Is this correct?

<Share>

<Directory Virtual="Share">H:\Download\</Directory>

<Directory Virtual="Share">\\FTP\admin:password@news.dyndns.org\</Directory>

</Share>

Nothing appears when I want to share.

Using Apex 1.0b5.

Another solution is to use Webdrive (shareware) but to hash 400 Gb it takes 24 hours!!!!! :crying:

Thanks again for your help.

Arghhhhh I just realize that my FTP is NOT on my local network, but far away...... So :blink:

Network sharing always takes a long time. I hashed 500Gb once at 2.5Mb/s, so I know your pain :crying:

WebDrive is working for a very small share. A lot of bugs.
