Im trying to find a good FTp type server that will let me host it off my computer for free.

Can you see this?

you know that your localhost is not your external IP right ? :lol:

Nope.

Here is a very good one I use.
Quick n easy ftp server2.6.1

 

[dolbyman]

it's not a problem of his software .. we can't see anything if he refers to his own loacalhost ..127.0.0.1 (it's like phoning your own number)

he must include his external IP !

everyone is right... look at what you are posting...

127.0.0.1 is a "loopback" address for YOUR computer INSIDE your network. It will NOT work from the general internet.

Also, you probably shouldn't post your password as part of the link...

Hang on there a sec, can you post a link to an image like that? Wouldn't you need a webserver instead? I know you can post links for people to download from an FTP thru their browser, but I've never seen anyone display an image that way.

You will need to have a Static IP or dynamic dns.

All I can see is:

 

[dolbyman]

so you now made this dyndns:

http://ryland.no-ip.info/

BUT
tracing this ip leads to:
192.168.1.101

what again is not your external IP .. it's your internal LAN IP :brick:

 

[tk421-sw]

AHAHAHAHAHA! Forget it.

 

[dolbyman]

are you using a router ?
