trying to figure out my ftp address

[stbaker]

so i've installed proftpd, and set it up according to a turorial, i just don't know what address to use when i'm trying to test it out and connect to it. any ideas?

make sure its started, then do a ifconfig on the machine running the daemon to find out your ip address. Or you can ftp into 127.0.0.1 (localhost) I think...

The localhost thing should work from that machine only. Make sure you are FTPing into the correct port. The ipconfig program should do it for you, otherwise you can go to What Is My IP.com (http://www.whatismyip.com/) to find out your IP address. (In my expirence the website is easier if you are on a home network, especially if you have a router.)

Good Luck!
