What I wanna know is, if I were to just turn on a router that provides a wifi connection, not connected to any ISP (so no WAN) but has 1 server connected to it, would that server be able work as a LAN ftp that only devices connected to that router can access? I would love to experiment this but I can't afford to take my server offline for that. I'd love to read some responses, as im not that good at networking and would really like to hear y'alls opinions

 

Thanks in advance

Yeah, as long as you have the IP you basically can ftp to any devices.

That would work. You wouldn't even need to run DHCP since everything falls back to a 168.254.x.x/16 address, but router/AP combo units will do DHCP for you.
