asked on

hosting my own FTP

I am IT admin for a company and we are currently paying someone to host our FTP site and I was wondering if we can host this ourselves and if so how is it done.

Basically you need two things:

1. Firewall/Router route to push port 21 traffic to your internal FTP server.
2. FTP software to host your site. (Which there are a variety of free and paid to choose from) and room for storage.

FTP Software:

Paid:
IPSwitch WS_FTP Server
Serv_U
Sysax FTP Server

Free:
Filezilla FTP Server
