How to create own FTP file server

 What is FTP

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet.
FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.[1] FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear-text sign-in protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it. For secure transmission that protects the username and password, and encrypts the content, FTP is often secured with SSL/TLS (FTPS). SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is sometimes also used instead, but is technologically different.


How to setup FTP

Needed two computer one for ftp server and another is for accessing ftp server file.
and a Router or Ethernet Switch.
or if you have wifi tethering
then use it.
setup two computer in network.

Download xampp software for better file transfer with fix its include ftp filezilla software. Its create your fixed server address on your computer which your filezilla software use to send or receive file on that server address.

or you can direct download filezilla software to set up ftp network.
but i recommend to use Xampp software .

For download xampp click on it

for filezilla 

1 Download and install Xampp
2 Disable the UAC user acount control
   go to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts
   then click on "Change User Account Control Settings"
3 Push down to the "Never notify"
 After installing Xampp then open the xampp control panel
 
Then "Start" Apache 
         "Start" MySQL
         "Start" Filezilla



And a window will popup each start you click. From  firewall (if firewall is on)
Which ask for the permission to access the networks
check both private and public box and then click on "allow access"




4 Open browser and Type "localhost" in the url bar and press enter
   then choose language
   And xampp page appear then go to 'status" for checking the activation of ftp service.
5 Open Xampp control panel go to filezilla "Admin"
   then a window appear  click ok button
   Filezilla window will open
6 In filezilla window go to "edit" then  "Users"
   a window will appear in general click on "add"
   then put user name if you want to give password then check password box and type password
7 Go to shared folders then then click on add and then choose the disk or a folder that you want to 
   share then Click on "Ok"
8 now you have to know ip address of your ftp server
   compuer
   for that open CMD in ftp server pc and type "ipconfig" and press 
   enter
   Then copy the IPv4 of your P.C
9 Open browser of another computer which acess same network  
   and type in the url bar "ftp://the ip addres that you  
   copy from cmd" (eg- :  ftp://192.168.1.100) and then press enter
   a window will apear type user name. And password if you given then put it or if you not then leave 
   it then press enter.
   Congratulation now you access your Ftp sever 

Additional Steps

10 if you want to modify and control your file from another pc then 
     you have to go to "filezilla"
     then go to "edit""users""Shared Folders" tap on the folders or 
     drive you choose then check all the 
     box beside to access full control.



11 instead of opening browser. Open window explorer press windows button + E
     in address bar type the ip address as I told on Step 9
