I have been interested in making my own MCPE server. I have found lots of online hosting websites. All of these sound great, but I want to know if there is a way to host an MCPE server on a ftp account. Thanks everyone.
You can't host a MCPE server using a FTP account because the host will terminate the task.
You can host your own MCPE server using PocketMine-MP from your computer (See here for more info).
Otherwise you can use a VPS or Minecraft host that supports PocketMine-MP, e.g. Aternos or HostHorde.
EDIT: You may need to port forward your router if you want to host a PocketMine-MP server from your computer.
Without some form of shell access this is impossible (I'm assuming by "FTP access" you mean it's a host for only "websites" and not some sort of VPS).
Even if you managed to get the executable running I imagine your host would squash that very quickly.

We are building php web application while i am a designers and my friend is developer we work on different pcs we want to test the file by runnig on localhost on both of our pc how can we reach it. I have gone through some of concepts in internet but didn't get proper info.
Yes. You need to create a firewall rule to allow access through whatever port you are serving on, probably 8080.
Here is how to create an inbound port rule in windows
Then they should be able to access your server by simply using your ip
I have a client who is remote. I need to debug some weird problem that none of my other clients are having. Before I try and set up a conference with this client, I would like to know if there is some way of remotely debugging our application.
I see that there are remote debugging tools available for Visual Studio, but from what I've read, I need to be on the same subnet. As the person is remote, this is not a possibility. Also, as I'd like to keep our connection secure, I would need to connect up some sort of encrypted tunnel (this is where I'm a little fuzzy as my networking skills are mostly theoretical).
As I understand it, an encrypted tunnel is a bridge to another (different) subnet. This is to ensure that those computers on the other side won't interfere with the local subnet computers.
So, because the client's computer is on a different subnet, I think that this is not possible. Or is it? Should there not be a way of making the client's computer show up as a virtual computer on my subnet, by forwarding packets from one subnet to another? I would think that this is theoretically possible, but I'm not exactly sure how I would go about this.
Also, at the moment, my current way that we connect to clients is through GoToMeeting, but I don't think that it supports tunneling. If not, then I may need some way of generating a tunnel, so I was also thinking of maybe using some SSH programme like PuTTY.
As I have said before, my knowledge of networking is quite theoretical, so if the tools that I am suggesting are not the correct ones, please correct me. (I'm a programmer, damm it! Not a network engineer!)
Both computers are Windows boxes. Windows 10 (client) and Windows 8.1 (development).
If you can connect to an ssh server in the remote network, you can (subject to configuration on the server) create a tunnel such that you connect to a socket on your local pic and the connection appears from the server to an endpoint on the remote network.
You'll want to investigate the -L command of OpenSSH, which combined with the PuTTY docs, should help explain what's required.
By default, the endpoint would be a port on the ssh server, but it could be a port on a different host that the remote server can connect to.
I'm not familiar with the current state of Windows SSH servers, but even if there isn't a system server to hand, you should be able to have on run 'on demand' - if you run it on a non-privileged port and by the user you want to connect in as, it shouldn't even need Admin privileges.
I'm not familiar with GoToMeeting, but the one thing with SSH tunnelling it that IT depts should be familiar with SSH. If trying that, focus on getting a working connection in, then setting up the tunnel, then connecting through it as separate steps.
Once you have an SSH connection, then it doesn't need to do something itself, and you can then investigate connecting while specifying the port forwarding, but will will need to get the basic connection working correctly first.
There is a server in my company and many people in the company work on it by Putty. We installed the Putty for our own computers to remote the server. BUT all of these happened in the company's inner web.
Now I want to remote the server from outer web. For example, I am home and I work on the company's server. For now I dont know how to realize this.
How can I configure the server and my PC at home?
Need I make some configuration for the router of the company? How?
Thanks in advance.
Assuming your company has a competent IT staff, there is a firewall that blocks incoming SSH attempts out. (It is called SSH, not Putty. Putty is just a program that Windows users tend to use for SSH.) Inside the company's network, you can SSH. So, from home, you will hit a firewall and you can't SSH in.
Does your company have a VPN system? If so, use that. There are many forms of VPN. Your company's IT staff can tell you how to configure your home machine so it can connect to the company's VPN. Once it does that, it will be as though your home computer is inside the company. You are inside the firewall. You can SSH.
You can ask if they will open the firewall for you. They shouldn't, but you can ask.
If you don't have VPN, all is not lost, but it gets more difficult. I don't expect you to do this, so I will only list the steps.
Install an SSH server on your home computer. Get it up and running. SSH into it from another computer at home.
Forward incoming port 22 requests to your home's firewall/router to your home computer so you can SSH into your home machine from outside your house, ie: From work. Test it from work to ensure it works.
Set up a reverse port forward SSH connection from the server at work to your home computer. What this does is initiate an SSH connection from the work server to your home computer. It then listens on a port on your home computer (pretend you used 2222 as the port). Now, from home, you SSH to your home computer (localhost) on 2222 and it connects over the previously made connection to the server at work.
Your IT staff might notice that you did this. They probably won't like it because you are bypassing their firewall.
You can either forward the port of the server to the public internet, or you can set up a VPN located inside your company's LAN that can be reached from outside the LAN such as OpenVPN.
Note: If you are planning to forward the server directly, make sure the server's security settings are set up correctly to prevent misuse of attackers. You can also restrict access to specific IP addresses using a firewall.
Assuming that your server is behind corporate network, you MUST require a VPN connection to access it. Talk to your IT department and they will be able to help with setting VPN connection.
I want to access a FTP Server, that is firewall protected meaning only IP addresses that have been added to the safe list may access the FTP file.
And The IP address of my website has been added to the safe list of the firewall.
I am using Filezilla to connect to it, but it is not allowing me to connect to the FTP server since my PC has a different IP.
Please suggest me a way to connect to the FTP server.
Thanks In advance....
If you can ssh/telnet into your host, then you could use the command line ftp.
Another option is to use a web-based ftp client that is installed on your web server (such as http://www.phpwebftp.com/ if you have PHP).
Run an ftp client on the allowed server; or, persuade the ftp admin to add your PC's IP address to the whitelist, and ensure and/or pray that it doesn't change (maybe pay your ISP extra for a static IP); or, use a proxy on an authorized server. The first option is definitely the most painless, assuming you have shell access to your web server (and if not, what sense does it make to have it on the authorized list?)
Some popular command-line clients you might find installed on the server include ftp (sic), ncftp, curl, wget, lynx, and w3m. The last two are actually terminal-based text-only web browsers.
If you have shell access to your server, you could create a SSH-tunnel like this:
ssh user#example.org -L 21:127.0.0.1:21
then you can connect to the FTP-server using localhost:21 from your pc.

i wan to install FTP service on my amazon Ec2 window instance,
i have some questions regarding this.
which is a good FTP demon to install on EC2 service for windows on EC2 instance.
can we install FTP same as we can do on window server with window CD.
any tutorial or videos of installation and configuration FTp on Ec2 server which help we?
kindly help me in this regards. Thanks
Here you will find a great tutorial that explains also the inner workings and problems you might encounter trying to setup an ftp server on amazon EC2 instance.
It also explains why just opening port 21 on the amazon firewall will not work. The example there uses the free filezilla ftp server and client but any can be used.

How to install an FTP Server on amazon AWS EC2
This seems to be a big issue as people usually waste a lot of time on this.
The problem lies with 2 elements: the security group settings & the ftp server settings.
FTP is not considered a good solution for passing files between EC2 instances and your computer as it is not firewall "friendly" - you can't just open port 21/TCP on the amazon security group settings because the server is actually sitting on a NAT address and when an ftp client connects to an FTP server using PASV mode then the server tells the client which port and which address to use for the data stream (like directory listing).
If you want an alternate easy solution for transferring files between yourself and the EC2 instance then setup a dropbox on both machines - it doesn't get easier than this... :)
If you still want to set up an FTP server on your EC2 instance then read on...
Typically, people just try to open port 21 and then try to connect and get something similar to:
Status: Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead.
Command: MLSD
Response: 425 Can't open data connection.
The solution is (and for this example I will explain how to perform the setting on FileZilla FTP server on windows):
1. FileZilla FTP server: Edit-> settings -> Passive mode settings:
(x) Retrieve external IP from:
http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php
[ this tells the ftp server to perform a 'whatismyip' and give that to the ftp client, you can also specifically put the address DNS name you use in your remote desktop in the "Use the following IP:", e.g., ec2-6-100-129-60.compute-1.amazonaws.com ]
(x) Use custom port range:
1024-1048
[ these are the ports that will be given to the ftp client - we will open them in the following step in the Firewall ]
2. Amazon security groups: open ports -
a. Custom TCP rule , Port range:21
b. Custom TCP rule, Port range:1024-1048
3. Turn off the windows firewall on the EC2 machine (you don't need it - you have the amazon firewall)
That's it, and just as side note, you don't need to use Elastic IP feature for this to work.
Also don't forget to set your client to use PASV mode (which is typically the default).
You can verify this works by reading the answer the server gives the client when it enters PASV mode:
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (174,149,71,102,4,7)
This response means: "Yo FTP client, use 174.149.71.102 and port 4*256+7=1031"
The Windows EC2 instances are all Windows Server 2008. The easiest thing to do would be to enable the built-in FTP functionality.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsGPqkobCs8.
Many people are suggesting to 'Turn off' the Firewall on Windows. It seems easy to get away from confused firewall configuration, but long run it's not good security practice.
