FTP

hi i noticed i had an address in my my documents browser thing dont rememeber it at all, as i dont use FTP 206.132.195.163
i see files when i hit enter is that connected to someone else? is this dangerous can i disable ftp? using win xp pro thanks MD

 

ftp is a protocol for moving files from one computer to another, it uses port 21. the IP you gave leads to a wood mill in Arkansas.

where did you find the IP address?

i know what it's like wondering about odd connections i seem to send half my life confused by what i find

EDIT maybe it's Phoenix, Arizona. the mill is called Arkansas Mill

 

Using HTTP you are correct but using FTP:// 206.132.195.163 it leads to a directory listing of a few files. I am also not clear which location the IP was found in

 

thanks, i can't ever connect to ftp with my proxy, but i just disconnected it and had a look. lots of cabs and other windows stuff in the /Office Professional 2003 and a /zip file with a funny name.

i think it's in Phoenix.

well it was in my documents address bar i typed ftp and there it was ? its not a security risk is it? im in oz so not sure never been to a mill..lmao MD

 

i'm not sure, i think i've forgotten how windows works, you mean autocomplete? sorry if i sound slow, i'm not using windows atm and i've never used autocomplete. you could do a search for a file called winks.zip and see if you have it on your HDD, i saw that on the server.
