Hi.

I am an IIS and FTP service newbie. I installed and got FTP to work in
updated XP Pro. SP3. I was able to FTP into my XP on LAN (not opened to
Internet for security reasons) into the folder/directory (not
C:\Inetpub\ftproot\) I set.

Now, is it possible to access all my drives (C: to N:)?

Thank you in advance. :)

Hi
What exactly you would like to do? FTP Server is a File Server that allows
download and Upload of files that resides in pre-designated spots, it is Not
a substitute to Remote Desktop.

I would like to be able to use text mode FTP clients to download and
upload files. I do not want to use Remote Desktop (GUI).
