What Do I Need to Make a Server?In Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
The first and most obvious thing you will need to have your own server is an Internet connection. This connection can be dedicated to the server or shared with other computers, however, there are a few things to consider when choosing an service plan for a server. The first is upstream speed. Because most Internet users download far more data than they upload to the Internet, most service plans have a drastically higher downstream speed than upstream speed. The amount needed will vary according to the type of server you wish to run. So it’s important to estimate your needs and, when shopping for service, read the fine print to ensure that the plan provides enough upstream bandwidth.
Static Internet Protocol (IP) Address
The other important consideration when shopping for service is how IP addresses are assigned. An IP address is a number that is used to identify a computer on the Internet. With most service plans, this number will often change each time a computer reconnects. This is called a Dynamic IP address. This works fine, unless you have a server that intends to have its own domain name. Domain names (such as www.ehow.com) must be looked up using a special service to translate them into a server’s IP address. However, if a server’s IP address is constantly changing, this can create problems when users try to look up your server by domain name. Therefore, it is important to purchase a Internet service plan that promises you a Static IP, one that does not change.
Dedicated Computer
While it’s quite possible to use a server computer as a desktop computer also, there are a number of reasons why this is not advisable. The biggest reason is security: servers are visible to the Internet in a way that a well-maintained desktop system usually isn’t. Running server software is essentially opening a window into a computer that is usually kept closed and locked.
Server Software
You will need software to serve the content you wish to serve. What you choose will depend on your own needs. If you wish to serve a website, the open source and very widely used program Apache is the most common. If you wish to serve an online game, you will need server software from the game’s publishers.
Security Software
Finally, and sadly, you will need security software. While you ought to have security software such as antivirus protection and a firewall running on every machine in your network, this becomes doubly important with a server. As mentioned above: running server software opens gateways into your computer that are normally left closed, and that makes it easier and more likely that your computer will be targeted by malicious hackers.

How to Sync Files With FileZillaIn Feburary 2016 23,
In Feburary 2016 23,
Click 'File' and then click 'Site Manager' from the drop-down menu. From the window that appears, click 'New Site' to create a new FTP site or open an existing FTP site by double-clicking it. If creating a new FTP site, enter the host, port, logon type, and username and password if required, then click 'OK.' If you have a matching set of directories on the local and remote computer, you can enable synchronized browsing to navigate the local and remote computers simultaneously. To enable synchronized browsing, click the 'Advanced' tab on the Site Manager window, ensure that the local and remote directory addresses are the same, and click the 'Use synchronized browsing' check box.
Changing Directories
In FileZilla, your computer folders are displayed on the left, below the label 'Local site.' The remote computer to which you are connecting has its folders displayed on the right side of the window, under 'Remote site.' Use FileZilla's navigation on each side of the window to open the directories on the local and remote computers containing the files you want to sync.
Transferring Files
Select the file or files to transfer and drag them to the other side of the file list. FileZilla will queue the files in the list at the bottom of the window and then begin the transfer. If one or more files from the source folder have identical names to files in the destination folder, FileZilla displays the Target File Already Exists window for the first identically named file, and gives you several options for handling the file transfer.
Common File Synchronization Options
Choose the 'Overwrite' radio button to replace the file in the destination folder with the source file. Click 'Overwrite if source newer' to replace the file in the destination folder only if it is older than the source file. Select 'Overwrite if different size' to replace the file only if the source file is a different size. Choose 'Skip' to cancel copying this file to the destination folder. To take the same action for all files you're copying, click the 'Always use this action' and 'Apply to this queue only' check boxes. Click 'OK' to continue. If you didn't click 'Always use this action,' then the 'Target file already exists' window will be displayed for each duplicate file name.
Other File Synchronization Options
The 'Resume' option is rarely used; it copies the rest of a file to the destination folder when the full file was not uploaded before. 'Rename' copies the source file to the destination folder and gives it a new name. It does not change the file name of the source file. 'Overwrite if different size or source newer' overwrites the file if it meets either of those two conditions.

The Advantages of ProtocolsIn Feburary 2016 22,
In Feburary 2016 22,
Transfer protocols move files and data from one location to another. Two computers in the operation are required: one is a transferring server and the other a receiving client. Several file transfer protocols include the following:FTP (file transfer protocol) allows the transfer of files. It establishes a connection to a remote client and transfers the files until completed, and then it disconnects. The connection can be in an internal network or over the Internet. Developed in 1971, this protocol served as one of the objectives for the development of the Internet.Xmodem is an alternative to the FTP protocol. It was popular with bulletin board services in the late 1970s because of its simplicity and ease of use.Kermit is a binary (0's and 1's) and text file transfer protocol designed in the early 1980s. For the transfer to occur a file conversion takes place to binary format before transmittal and then converted back afterwards. This allowed for file transfers over dissimilar systems.The advantage of these file transfer protocols is that they share information between different computer systems and different formats.

Transfer protocols allow files and data to move across networks.
E-mail Protocols
The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) allows an e-mail client to access e-mail messages on a remote e-mail server.IMAP supports two modes of operation: online and offline. In online mode, e-mail clients using IMAP leave the e-mail messages on the server until the user purposely deletes them. In offline mode, the e-mail is downloaded and then deleted. This characteristic of the IMAP operation allows multiple clients to manage the same mailbox. The upshot is that the mail stays on the server automatically until deleted.POP (Post Office Protocol) is an alternate e-mail protocol that supports simple download and delete for access to remote mailboxes. Most POP clients have an option to leave e-mail on the server after download. However, e-mail clients typically follow this procedure. They connect to the server, retrieve their messages, store them on the user's local PC and then delete them from the server and disconnect. The upshot is, the mail is automatically deleted unless kept.The advantage of both of these protocols is enhanced e-mail management.

E-mail protocols allow personal information to go to other individuals.
Software Developer Protocols
Software developers use protocols in their work. Platform-based database protocols like JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) or ADO (active x database objects) have a performance advantage. Also, flexibility and reuse are two main advantages of using a neutral platform protocol such as SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).This is a protocol specification that facilitates the exchange of structured information in web services.By using protocols, software architects and program developers can determine the opportunity cost of the project, that is, whether the development is going to be faster versus whether the program is going to be faster. These performance versus flexibility alternatives affect the coding decision, which impacts the way the program will run.The advantage of using these protocols is that they improve the performance of programs and provide flexibility in program design.

How to Access the Internet Through a Router Hardwired to a Desktop ComputerIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Check that your router is connected to your Internet modem using an Ethernet cable. This may be a cable, DSL or satellite Internet modem, depending on the type of Internet service you have.
Connect the router to your computer using an Ethernet cable. Most routers will have four ports to connect computers to. These ports are usually numbered, one through four, in a row in the back. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into any of those four ports and the other end into the Ethernet port on your computer.
Turn on your modem, router and desktop computer, in that order. Windows will automatically configure your Internet connection.
