I have a network camera that can FTP images to a specified directory. How do I set up a computer to allow files to be FTP'd to it, but only to allow it from my closed network and not to anyone on the outside? Thanks

You have to set up ftp server on this computer, so that it can be connected by using ftp client.

Here are some example of ftp servers:

Golden FTP Server
BulletProof FTP Server 2.3.1 build 26

Hope helps..

picoHat
Home Network and Wireless Network Help

I like Filezilla portable. No need to install.

The issue of ftp so that you only can access it is another matter. Normally you have to authenticate and authorize by some means. Computers can be access in a number of ways, many not known to users only to hackers. Firewalls and routers help prevent that. It also prevents users from getting to their systems.

Might look at an older version of barracudadrive on softpedia. It provide https access to your files that you set up.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, are in my top 10

XP comes with an ftp server built in.

start|run|appwiz.cpl|add/remove windows components

Double click IIS check WWW service,Ftp Service,common files and IIS snapin

once installed use the IIS snapin in control panel | administrative tools to set up Ftp server

Thanks, did not know about the built-in FTP server.
