I am having a difficult time moving 4x1GB files over my 100MB LAN.
One machine is XP Pro ( a notebook )
And the other machine is ME ( a desktop )
Until I can afford a faster PC, my work PC will have to suffice for ripping
DVDs, and I want copy those files over.
I tried setting up a share, and using Explorer to copy it over, but that
does not seem to work. It started, but never finished.
So, I heard that NetMeeting had an FTP client built in, so I tried that.
Well, NetMeeting crashed on my ME machine, causing a GDI error in "conf",
and it wouldn't even load on the XP, telling me that version 3.01 will not
work - at all.
So maybe NetMeeting's time has come and gone? Did I miss that?
So, I have an old copy of WS_FTP Pro, which is an FTP client. I just
checked, and it works fine. (It's installed on my ME machine)
And then I went to a website that showed me how to enable FTP to a share on
my notebook XP Pro computer. Which I did ( did I? I never setup a login or
anything ) according to one person's opinion.
I know that I set the share up properly because I can see it on the other
machine.
The question is, my WS_FTP Pro, trying to connect to the shared file(s) on
255.255.255.255:21 did not seem to work. Causing a "Connect failure".
It's really a miner irritant only, but one that I'd like to know more about.
And I reckon here on the Internet someone must know something.
Well, thanks again for looking. Feel free to castigate, investigate,
recapitulate, or repudiate at will.
