A bit of FTP Server advice please

[Chris]

I have recently setup an FTP Server using Bullet Point FTP.

What I would like some input on is the best way to set up the file directory. What I am after is making it as user friendly as possible to everyone who connects to it.

This is the first time I have actually got round to setting one up and I know as with everything its always a work in progress, I would really like some help with this please.

Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated.


Many Thanks in Advance


Chris.

Hi Chris,

I'm claiming that you have already setup user accounts and just need so assistance on setting up the directory structure.

1st. Your FTP has to always have a root directory with various file and other directories springing from it.

You can even name this root directory, "FTP"

2nd. The seperators need to be in-place. If you have any backed-up applications or music that you need, I suggest that you make a folder for these.

The rest is excaping me.. Get in touch with me if you still need help with this. Cool.

Setting up an FTP can be a dredful process.

I really hope this helps..

let me know if she does or does not.

Thanks,
Cyberion

Cheers belthazor.

I have just recieved my replacement 45gig Hard Drive for one that went Awol on me a few weeks ago so im going to get that in place for my FTP Server, going to take into account all the advice Cyberion has offered and once up and running I would like both of you to take a look just to give me as much feedback as possible.


Thanks

[belthazor]

I'm sure we can both do that

[Chris]

its finally getting there, the FTP Server is near completion and almost ready for being put under scrutiny.
Belthazor & Cyberion & RichardC2000 you will be the first to check it out and give feed back.
Positive or not I dont care, every little bit of advice good or bad helps to get it right.


Many Thanks

@chris - I think I have, haven't I. Thought it was fairly striaght forward - though I tend to ramble a bit.
