FTP Q

Post by Edzo1 »

Can my Meteohub and Linksys WVC54GCA IP Camera, both FTP data to my website at the same time? Since they're both using port 21, will that cause problems/collisions? ...., and if so, can I use a port other than port # 21 to FTP my MH data or my webcam images? Thanks for your help.

Normally a webserver can handle more than one incoming ftp session, so it looks like it is not an issue, unless your ISP has set some restrictions. In my case meteohub as well as my webcam are uploading to my server on a pretty frequent basis. Apart from that I'm also doing other stuff on the webserver that requires ftp sessions as well.

It will be different if you have 2 machines on your network, and you want to ftp to each of them from the outside world. In that case you can only, obviously specify one target address. But as said that doesn't sound like your case.
