Webbased FTP server?

[Rustig]

searching the web i did not find what i was looking for...

 

Is there a FTP server (application) that i can run on my mac thats displays as a webpage?

For example i can access this ftp via the internet and logon to via any browser true the internet?

 

Or are there FTP server that can communicate with an (personal)webpage plugin?

 

I like to use my Mac as an Virtual NAS for my private network and if i am out i like to get some files via the webpage true the internet

 

I hope my question is clear enough to get some answers..

 

Thanks in advance

Mike

Not 100% sure what you are looking for.

 

Many browsers support the FTP protocol and will display normal FTP sessions in a browser window. (Safari isn't one of them, and Firefox uses a plugin that uses a normal FTP GUI.

 

You might be after something like this: http://www.jscape.com/articles/secure_ftp_server_web.html

(only 1 of several options)

Hi Headrush69,

 

Thanks for your reply, i found Jscape, installed it and did not find out how to configure it and its not a lack of technical knowhow..

Its not as simple installed as is displayed on the website..

 

Your right, every webbrowser can connect via ftp://... but this is not what i was looking for

 

I want to setup a website where my FTP application is controlled by, just like every NAS drive has..

 

Anyone else?

 

Thanks

Mike

net2ftp.com is great, also i did get Jscape up and running now, the free version did not support webftp so i used the pro version and its working!
