Im mostly using ftp://x.x.x.x in the web browser. And i think everyone who knows my ip can just log in without password.
so if i cange it to user, and creates user for e.g 1234 with password 5678 i have too write this in everytime i log on to the ftp either over the internet or local network right?
Do you have a guide for me how i do this? :)
Windows explorer might present the windows login automatically (not sure about that, it certainly will with SMB)
ok!
Ill check it out when i get home from work.
I use mac so i've turned SMB off since i don't need it!
