I'm trying to ftp to my computer via crossover with no internet connection. I hooked the cable to both computers and started the ftp client and nothing happened. I dont really know what to put for the information for either computer to start the process.
To ftp you would need an ftp server running on one end to connect to. Once you have the crossover cable connected here's the network settings you'll need to make the two communicate:
PC 1:
IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0PC 2:
IP: 192.168.0.2
SM: 255.255.255.0You can check connectivity by pinging PC 1 from PC 2 and vice versa.

Ok and where do I put theses settings at the second pc I'm using is running windows 98se so how would I change the ip for both of theses?
same place for both: network properties
So you just go to network properties change the ip address to both of those ok well i'm using flashfxp what do I put in there for the user and password since i'm trying to connect the to windows98?
why are you even bothering with ftp? you just share the drives on each machine and with networking enabled you transfer the files.
Your question about flashfxp would be contained in its documentation.
I'm running linux on my xbox and I'm using linux as a emulator to run windows 98se by trying to ftp into xbox before I run windows 98 brings up the xbox files not the windows 98 so I need to be in windows 98 to be able to ftp so I can upload files there.
All I need to know is what do you put for the information in the FTP ip address and for the user name and password on the main computer
ftp is ftp is ftp......
When you have everything setup and you're ready to connect you ftp to the IP of the target PC. As per my example above, lets say you have ftp server software running on PC 1 and you wish to connect from PC 2. You know the IP of PC 1 is 192.168.0.1 your command would be:ftp 192.168.0.1
In my experience, you enter the username/password after making the initial connection.

Thats the thing what would be the user name and password for pc 2 which is running 98se.
To use FTP you need and fTP client on one machine and an FTP server on the other, Yo configure the FTP server with a user name and password of you own choosing. You then run it so it is waiting for a connection from the client. When you run the client you enter the user-name and password you configured in the server. You can configure the FTP server as an open server without user name and password, in which case you just press enter when promoted for user name and password.

Ok so pc1 would have the client and pc2 would be the server ok I thought you had to put in the user name and password from the login information when you first start the computer. So now I have to get a ftp server for pc2 then?
