I have Apache installed on my Win2000 machine along with MySQL and PHP.
I can view the contents of the server on the net using my ip.

I would like to somehow set up ftp access so that I can login to the account via username and password and remotely upload and download files.

I'm not sure how to begin setting this up or if it even has anything to do with Apache.

If someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jeremiah Terhark

W2K has a built in FTP server that you can install or better yet you can use a third party server like ServerU FTP

http://www.serv-u.com

Apache is not an FTP server though.

I use ServU on my Devel Box.

I set it up and it works great!

Is there any way to allow access to any file on c: or any other drive ? Right now it only allows access to the apache htdocs folder.

If you are talking about apache that only allows access to the htdocs folder, you must edit the apache's config file and set the document root path to the directory you want.
