Domains on FTP?

[Flux Azreal]

Using windows's FTP how can i use a domain? (like no-ip)

or FTPS can't take advantage of those?

the domain name just points to the ip. 

 

Do you want this on the public or private network?

In the address bar of Windows Explorer, type ftp:// then the ip address or domain, then hit enter.

 

Or use something such as Filezilla instead, that way you can use SFTP, FTP, or Storj, instead of just FTP.

Well first, you need to have the No-ip client running on your FTP server (or have your router configured with No-ip, if it's capable). Then, once your No-ip account is setup and your domain is configured, you need to port-forward the FTP server (and FTP port) in your router.

 

After that, you simply use the domain instead of the IP Address to connect (Example: Using FileZilla FTP client, or a web browser, or File Explorer, etc).

 

Quite simply, all No-ip does is forward any traffic from that domain to your IP Address.
