I know I haven't posted anything recently, but it gets difficult finding new things to share that can really help someone without talking too much about nothing. Also, it takes a lot of time and effort to put into something that isn't really making any $$$ and lets face it... time is money! However, I do like to share with the community I get so much help from.
That being said, I just want to let you guys know that I will posting several new articles in the days ahead related to the Tech field. You don't have to be in the field or be a "techie" to get something from these articles, and I will write them as if you have very little computing know-how.
With the assortment of gadgets, services, and media online... just about everyone has music, pictures, and videos they would like to share, not only throughout your home, but maybe also with your neighbors and possibly family and friends all over the world!
There are very easy ways to accomplish this, as I will share. There are services you can add to your computer and there are also some websites that can help you with this. I will probably start with FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and how you can set up your own FTP server to share your media or any files with others. An average user can get this setup and rockin' within 30-45 minutes if that. I don't claim to be an expert in anything, but I have been tinkering with computers and electronics in general for over two decades and consider myself pretty knowledgeable with technology. If there are articles you would like to see, or questions you may have - you can feel free to comment on these articles and I will see you.
As a Computer Field Technician I am always traveling from site to site fixing all sorts of computer related issues from Wal-Mart and Home Depot to your mamas house :P Having an FTP server I can pull programs and files from that I may need in the field is invaluable to me, and saves me lots of time. The files are sitting at home, why shouldn't I be able to access them from anywhere? I can, and you can too!
I'll show you how to set a free service that will make your dynamic IP address seem more like a static IP address, how to get your own domain name attached to that IP for free, how to setup your router, keep yourself secure, and of course how to log in for the first time. Maybe next week I can sow you how you can stream your movies and videos just like the big cable companies do with VLC player... then you can let your family and friends log in and watch with you... and yes, it's all free. Stay tuned!
