Breaking news, site updates...
I want to setup a file server accessible from the internet. The problem is that I don't to pay 500$ a month for a static IP I guess I'm going to need something with a static IP that will know the current IP of my file server. Anyone got a solution? The easier the better but I don't mind overly complicated stuff if it's free.
I found a quick solution that has always worked for me. I created and registered a domain name with http://www.dnsexit.com Then I run their IP Updater utility on my Server to update the IP address on their DNS servers. If for some reason I need to know my IP address, just ping the www.com address. I run Filezilla as an FTP Server and client. My files are always available to me when I am on the road.
look up dyndns.com, requires you to enable dynamic dns support on your router but that only takes a minute or two.
Great thats exactly what I'm looking for. Many Thx
