Build FTP server in Windows 7
STEP STEP BUILD FTP ON WINDOWS 7
Often we transfer files either from the server to the local computer or from the local computer to the server computer or even between servers. If you are familiar with web hosting would be familiar with the name of FTP Server, where to be able to upload and download the files website customers are usually Web hosting providers using this FTP service.
FTP server is a server that runs the application to provide download and upload service files between networks (TCP / IP) that utilize File Tranfers Protocol (FTP). FTP is a standard protocol for exchanging files in a network that runs on the application layer of 7 OSI Network layers (http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_OSI). In order to access the FTP server it takes a FTP client application such as FileZilla, WS_FTP, Cute_FTP etc. or BrowserFTP server is a server that runs the application to provide download and upload files between networks (TCP / IP) that utilize File Tranfers Protocol ( FTP). FTP is a standard protocol for exchanging files in a network that runs on the application layer of 7 OSI Network layers (http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_OSI). To be able to access the FTP server requires an FTP Client application such as FileZilla, WS_FTP, Cute_FTP etc. or the simplest by using Browser.
Keep in mind !, FTP is actually not safe to exchange files between networks because of the absence of encryption process first. FTP in transferring data using Clear Text method which user, password and data you send can be easily to dip (sniff) by an application program such as protocol analyzer for example WireShark. However, there are other ways that can be used to make the process of swapping files using FTP to be safe, that is by using SFTP (SSH FTP) that is FTP based SSH or also with FTPS is FTP in wrap with protocol SSL (FTP Over SSL) .
In addition to the use to upload and download the website to a web hosting server, FTP server is also much in enable for the purposes of sharing files or data centers within the companies.

10. After the Site creation process is completed then we try to access from Client, in this example the author access from Windows XP computer with ip address 10.10.10.8. Open Internet Explorer then type ftp://10.10.10.10 (ip address FTP server) then enter, Log On window appears as input username and password, because at the beginning we give permission to user Chelsea, input UsernameChelsea along with password.
