Browse to the download page for XAMPP at Apachefriends.org. Click the 'Installer' link and save the 'xampp-win32-1.7.4-VC6-installer.exe' file to your desktop. Note that the version number in the file name was correct at the time of publication and is subject to change.
Double-click on the downloaded file to launch the installer. Select your preferred language using the 'Installer Language' drop-down menu and click 'OK.'
Click 'Next' when the XAMPP setup wizard appears.
Click 'Next' to install XAMPP in the folder 'c:\xampp' on your computer.
Select all of the check boxes under 'Service Section' to install Apache, MySQL and FileZilla and click the 'Install' button. The setup wizard installs XAMPP and the selected services to your computer.
Click 'Finish' when the installation is complete. If Windows displays any messages about Windows Firewall blocking XAMPP-related services, click the 'Unblock' button.
Click 'Yes' to launch XAMPP and then minimize the window.
Browse to Joomla.org. Click the 'Download' button. Click the 'ZIP' link next to '1.6.5 Full Package.' Save the file 'Joomla_1.6.5-Stable-Full_Package.zip' to your desktop. As with the XAMPP software you downloaded earlier, the version number in the file name is the current version at the time of publication and is subject to change.
Right-click the downloaded file and click 'Extract' to unpack the contents of the archive to a folder on your desktop.
Open the 'Start' menu and click 'Computer' to open a Windows Explorer window.
Double-click the 'C:' hard drive icon and then open the 'xampp' and 'htdocs' folders.
Right-click on open space in the Windows Explorer window, then click 'New' and 'Folder.' Name the new folder 'joomla' and press 'Enter.' Open the folder.
Move all of the files from the folder containing the Joomla package on the desktop to the new 'joomla' folder and close Windows Explorer.
Create the Joomla! Database
Return to your Web browser. Type the address 'http://localhost/xampp/index.php' in the address bar and press 'Enter.' Click your desired language to continue.
Click the 'phpMyAdmin' link under 'Tools' on the left side of the window.
Click the field under 'Create New Database' and type a name for the database that Joomla! will use. Click the 'Create' button.
Click the 'localhost' link at the top of the page.
Click the 'Privileges' tab under 'localhost.'
Click the 'Add a New User' link.
Type a username in the 'User Name' field. This will be the username that Joomla! uses to access the database.
Click the drop-down menu next to 'Host' and select 'Local.'
Enter a password in the 'Password' and 'Re-type' fields.
Click the 'Check All' link next to 'Global Privileges.'
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the 'Go' button to create the new database user.
Install Joomla!
Type 'localhost/joomla' in the address bar of the Web browser and press 'Enter.' You should see a page titled 'Joomla! Installation.' Choose your preferred language and click 'Next.' This runs a pre-installation check for Joomla!'s requirements on the local Web server. All of the items should be set to 'Yes.' Click 'Next.'
Click 'Next' after reading the Joomla! license agreement.
Type the user name, password and database name that you entered when creating your Joomla! database in Section 2. Click 'Next.'
Click 'Next' to advance past the FTP configuration screen. This step is optional and not necessary for Joomla! to function properly.
Type the desired name for your Joomla! test site along with your email address and desired password. Click the 'Install Sample Data' if you would like to place data on the test site demonstrating some of Joomla's features, then click 'Next.'
Click the 'Remove Installation Folder' button to delete the Joomla! installation folder from the local Web server.
Navigate to 'http://localhost/joomla/administrator' to log in to Joomla! and begin working on your website.

What Is an FTP Server?In Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
The first published standard for the File Transfer Protocol predates the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in use today. Published in 1971, FTP ran over the Network Control Protocol (NCP), the Internet's predecessor. It was designed to facilitate indirect exchanges across the network--those exchanges in which data or programs were transmitted to a different system to be executed or worked on.
Uses
FTP was originally designed for large bulk transfers of data, so it's ideally suited for file downloads. This is particularly true across the Internet, where FTP is used commonly as the mechanism for downloading patches, songs and purchased programs.
Function
At a technical level, FTP uses an out-of-band control mechanism. This means the data moves between client and server using one communication path. Control messages that govern the flow of that data move between the systems on a different communication channel. Because FTP was designed for file transfers, it leverages the TCP as an underlying protocol, which includes more robust packet delivery assurance.
Identification
Much like most other client/server relationships, the FTP client is the system that makes a request for data, and the FTP server provides that data. It is a common Internet practice to reserve a specific machine or even a set (or 'farm') of machines to function as FTP servers for an enterprise. Their purpose is to listen for client requests and (assuming security checks allow for it) quickly and accurately transmit large files to those clients. If your web browser suddenly reads 'ftp://
' you'll know you're leveraging the FTP protocol in your download.
Benefits
Web pages, which commonly download through the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), are usually comprised of many small files that must be simultaneously downloaded to a wide variety of clients in small degrees. Any given web page may make dozens or even hundreds of information requests just to populate a single page. This is a fundamentally different style of work than one request that results in several dozen megabytes of continuous data download. It is precisely because of this difference that FTP servers have continued to have their place amid the many web servers on the Internet.
Design
Because FTP servers are designed for large file transfers, they are best used as a part of an overall Internet server strategy. It's common, for instance, to have general informational pages hosted by web (HTTP) servers and include links in these pages to separate servers used to host large files for download--such as music, videos, large PDF documents, computer code and patches. Because security can be an issue with FTP (originally designed to send usernames and passwords in clear text), it is typical to see FTP servers host files that do not require specific permission for download--or to use a federated security model that leaves authentication and authorization to other systems.
