most convenient solutions to transfer file through a private or public network
B without limitations and restrictions typically found with most cloud storage
services.

There are also many benefits running your FTP server. For example, it's private, and
you have absolute control. It's fast (depending on your internet connection speeds),
and there is virtually no limits on the amount and type of data you can store.

Also, you don't have restrictions on file sizes either, which means that you can
transfer something as small as a text file or a 1000GB PC backup, and you can
even create multiple accounts to let friends and family access or store content
remotely too.

You'll find many third-party software on the internet to build a file transfer server,
but Windows includes an FTP server feature that you can set up without the need to
resource to other solutions. In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the
steps to successfully set up and manage an FTP server on your PC to transfer files
from your home network or remotely over the internet.

How to access an FTP server from any PC


Here's the quickest way to test your FTP server, after configuring the firewall, and
forwarding port 21 on your router.

Note: I'm using Internet Explorer, because Microsoft Edge seems not to include the

another modern web browser.

To test if your FTP server is reachable from the internet, visit Google or Bing, do a
search for "What's my IP?". Note your public IP address from the results and type it
into the address bar using the FTP link format and press Enter.

If you get a login prompt, then everything is working as expected. Simply enter your

The "art" of the matter

I'm no Leonardo da Vinci, but my Surface Pro in studio mode allowed me to draw the
above picture of a man using Microsoft's rumored Surface Andromeda digital
journal.

Macs have historically been the go to-do devices for artists. Microsoft's touch-
centric immersive Surface Studio, other Surface devices, software like Paint 3D and
system wide inking have begun swaying artists to Microsoft's hardware.

Microsoft's inking quest is not only focused on inspiring artistic creativity. Inking and
collaboration also targets lateral thinkers, or creatives. These are people like
teachers, manufacturing managers and mathematicians who don't think in a linear
fashion. They process in an analog manner then share their thoughts for others to
build on.

Microsoft and others within the industry see this form of thinking as one that
inspires creativity within an organization. Thus, Microsoft's pursuit of inking is to
provide the tools and platforms that will help facilitate creativity.

Microsoft's rumored "Surface Andromeda" digital journal is expected to bring inking


to a very personal, mobile and collaboration-focused form factor. As an always-
connected, pocketable Windows Core OS PC with telephony, it may fit alongside

Macs have historically been the go to-do devices for artists. Microsoft's touch-

collaboration also targets lateral thinkers, or creatives. These are people like
teachers, manufacturing managers and mathematicians who don't think in a linear
fashion. They process in an analog manner then share their thoughts for others to

Microsoft and others within the industry see this form of thinking as one that
inspires creativity within an organization. Thus, Microsoft's pursuit of inking is to
provide the tools and platforms that will help facilitate creativity.

Microsoft's rumored "Surface Andromeda" digital journal is expected to bring inking


to a very personal, mobile and collaboration-focused form factor. As an always-
connected, pocketable Windows Core OS PC with telephony, it may fit alongside
Microsoft's other Surface devices.
