Hello everyone. So in
this video new we are going to see how we
can set up a FTP server using
this free website, which is a triple zero
webhost.com.
So
if you want to practice for FTB that
is the file transfer protocol, then you can
just simply practice to connect over
this server when you can upload and download
files easily. The main motive
of this video is to create a
free FTP server onto this particular website so
that you can practice the FTP commands
uploading as well as downloading.
All right, so
First quickly sign up and create account
onto this particular website. I have skipped the
part of signing up and creating account after
you have created an account. You need
to verify your email address.
Once you have a verified your email address, then you
need to log in simply click on the
sign in button.
I have already logged in into this
account.
As you can see I have also created a new
site creating a new site is very very
simple. Just click on create new site and
give the name of the site that you want. So I
have given udemy testing website and just
hit OK.
That's it. You don't have to do anything else. Just create
a domain name of a website.
So once this is done click on manage
website.
Once you click on that, you will come on to
this particular dashboard. Remember, this is a free account.
You do not need to buy anything or
upgrade your account. The FTP is
freely available on the free account as
well.
Now on the left hand side.
You can see there are a couple of options like build
website tools.
Etc so we will just go into
the website settings and we will click on General.
Once you have clicked on General here, you can see the FTP
detailed information. So now
if you want to connect to your website that
is udemy testing website, and
if you want to upload and download any
particular files to this free server, you
can do that easily.
Here you can see the hostname the port
number the username and the password. So the
password is whenever you are going to
create a website the application is going to
ask you for a password. You can save that password and the
same password will be utilized as your
FTP servers password.
So let's quickly open up a terminal and let's try to
do the FTP connection onto this
particular new FTP server that we have created. So I'll
just type FTP and hit enter and then
we are going to connect to this particular server. That is
file start triple zero webhost.com. This is the host
name that we have got from here.
Now as you can see, it says login failed. Yes,
because we have not supplied the username and password.
So now we are going to again check that
we are connected to the server and you can see we are
connected to the server as it said already connected
to this particular server. All right. So let
us try to authenticate Now by giving the username and
password. So we are going to type the
command user space the username. So username
is udemy testing website. That is
our username as well and it is going to ask you
for a password.
Now in my case, I have forgot
my password. So I'm just going to click on.
Let me just try with the password first.
Or else you can just click on change password button over
here, and you can create a new password as well.
So let me just create a password.
And click on change password.
now
I'm going to authenticate again with the username.
So the username was udemy testing website.
I will paste it over here and it is going
to ask me for a password. So let me just give the password.
Remember when you will type the password you will not be
able to see that.
Now I will hit enter and you can see okay current
restricted directory is slash which
means I have successfully logged in. Let me
just show you by the ls command and you can see there are
two directories public HTML and TMP, which
is temporary directory.
So in case you want to upload and download anything you
can just go inside this directory first. That is
public HTML.
And you can upload download and
host your files into this particular
directory currently. This directory
is empty and you can utilize this particular server
to host your files.
So I hope you guys understood how you can use FTP
and how you can connect to a free FTP server
and practice for your commands as well. As you can utilize
that particular server to host your free files.
Thank you.
