Yeah, added with those details you gave me.

Can you please all upload a file to your space so I know it's all working.

You should try a protocol like SFTP or SCP because FTP is unencrypted. It's totally terrible because passwords are sent over in clear text and can easily be picked up.

can files be streamed off this. mp3s for example? .. oh and jox did you read my comment above?

 

[joxley1990]

Ermm.. havent tried it, but I doubt it, I mean for a few quid a month you can have a streaming web folder if you want..

Yeah I did, get me on MSN.

Don't worry, it's secure

How So, If it's being sent over FTP, and not, (As DJ-CHRIS Said) Over SFTP or SCP?

Naah, FTP is a HUGE security risk

This is a screenshot of me FTP'ing into a server, and a modern packet sniffer running in the background. The packet sniffer can be ran on ANY computer in the physical network (broadcast domain), or in the path of the traffic.
I can also tell that your running Serv-U ftpd 6.4, and using port 8000 isnt offering much extra security at all
