How to install an FTP server on Windows 10

Very similar to previous versions, Windows 10 includes the necessary components to run an FTP server. Follow the steps below to install an FTP server on your PC:
  1. Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and select Programs and Features.
  2. Click the Turn Windows features on or off link.
  3. Expand Internet Information Services and check the FTP Server option.
  4. Expand FTP Server and check the FTP Extensibility option.
  5. Check Web Management Tools with the default selections.
  6. Click OK to begin the installation.
  7. Click Close.

How to configure an FTP site on Windows 10

After installing the necessary components to run an FTP server on your PC, you need to create an FTP site using the following instructions:
  1. Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and select Control Panel.
  2. Open Administrative Tools.
  3. Double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  4. Expand and right-click Sites on the Connections pane.
  5. Select Add FTP Site.
  6. Name your new FTP site and enter the path to the FTP folder you want to use to send and receive files.
    Note: You can also use the Make New Folder button to create a specific folder to store your FTP files.
  7. Click Next.
  8. On Binding and SSL Settings leave all the default settings, but change the SSL option to No SSL.
    Note: It's worth pointing out that in a business environment or on an FTP server that will host sensitive data, it's best practice to configure the site to require SSL.
  9. Click Next.
  10. On Authentication, check the Basic option.
  11. On Authorization, select Specified users from the drop-down menu.
  12. Type the email address of your Windows 10 account or local account name to allow yourself access to the FTP server.
  13. Check the options Read and Write.
  14. Click Finish.

Windows Defender

Windows Defender Windows Defender is Microsoft’s proprietary anti-malware tool that is used in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 by default. At the time of its creation, it used to be rather cropped and ineffective, which caused an outpouring of criticism. However, it has been seriously improved since then, so in 2019, it has much to be loved for. Especially, because it became one of the best free Antivirus in its segment. As of today, it is a full-featured antivirus product that provides strong malware protection and some useful extras. It is highly estimated by the world’s leading AV testing labs (though Avast free still scores higher ). Windows Defender detects and removes almost 100% of cyber threats without a heavy impact on the system performance. At the same time, the Defender still lacks some important features offered by top antivirus suites. Also, its performance is not completely flawless, especially when it comes to false positives. Finally, Microsoft doesn’t offer ...

What is subnetting And How it works??

Subnet        The main purpose of subnetting is to help relieve network congestion. Congestion used to be a bigger problem than it is today because it was more common for networks to use hubs than switches. When nodes on a network are connected through a hub, the entire network acts as a single collision domain. Partitioning a single network can help relieve network congestion and increase security If you work inside a large organisation or business, particularly one spread across multiple branches, it's highly likely that it deploys a subnet. A subnetting, or subnetworking, is the process of splitting a single large network into two or more strands. This means that an otherwise mammoth and unwieldy network can be subdivided into smaller, more localised networks. First, a look at IP addresses IP addresses are comprised of a 32-bit number with values ranging from zero to 4294967295, split into four octets. In order for it to be...

1. Purchase an Ethernet cable tester. There are many models you can purchase. Make sure it has a   battery in it and power it on. 2. Plug one end of the cable into the transmit jack. The transmit jack on the tester maybe be labeled "TX".   3.Plug the other end of the cable into the receiver jack.The receiver jack may be labeled "RX" on the device. Some testers have a detachable receiver you can use to test the cable across different rooms. 4 . Check the lights on the tester. Most testers will have 2 sets of 8 LED lights that correspond to the 8 pins on the transmitting and receiving end of the Ethernet cable. There will also be a G light for the ground. It will test each pin one at a time. If all 8 pins light up on both ends, the cable is good. If any of the lights do not light up on either end, this indicates a short in the cable. Don't worry if the G light doesn't light up. If the lights on either end flash out of order, this ...
