I Have apache friends and i am currently using the Apache port and the Mysql port. I also have serv-u ftp server. Is it possible to combine the two so that i use apache friends port but when i go to a link (ex. mysite.com/serv-u ftp) it switches over to the ftp server.
Is this possible?
Help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks, Saurex
Sure, don't start FileZilla FTP server included in XAMPP.
Configure Serv-u FTP server to use mysite.com on port 21 or whatever port you like but 21 is the default ftp port.
You can have the ftp server start as a service when you boot your PC so it is always available, just like you can with Apache and MySQL.
Then if Serv-u is up and running, in your browser or ftp client, go to ftp.mysite.com or
ftp://mysite.com or
http://mysite.com:21 if port 21 is the port you configured in Serv-u.
Let me know if the above is not what you had in mind or try and give more details about what you are trying to achieve, but really the above is how FTP should be configured as it is a different protocol to http.
BTW, be very careful allowing anonymous access to your ftp server as it can be a nightmare unless it is configured correctly and keep in mind that when ever you create a link to an ftp address that has an access user/pass combination, that at some stage, the user will have to enter their access credentials you set up for them in Serv-u.
