Re: [Help] Setting up Apache HTTP server and FTP
Kind of what owned said all ready.
My ISP does allow websites to run as long as you don't sell anything out of them. I do run hosting off my PC and connection(384kbps) for pics and screenies. But since I am now moving in to bigger stuff I had to pay for my service. 12$ for reliable fast service it is really worth it. 
I did learn a bit, so as long as it is something temp and does not cost you more than it's worth then I suggest to be cool.

I run a server at my home connection; shoot me.
I've learned soo much from it. It is secure, and has really nothing valuable on it. The site itself is VERY small, like 6 kilobytes for the index and gets little to no traffic. DUMeter shows about 100kb up a day.
It is set to not be indexed in Robots.txt
It has an FTP server, but it is just to access the main site files via Dreamweaver.
The main use for it is to link/send 40 kb pics (like 3 max) to friends over IM. I also learned a lot...
I have no problem with that. I do the same thing myself on my DSL isp. I host a website for a friend in the UK and have some phpbb forums for a friend of mine and I. My isp doesn't seem to mind. Unfortunately, it's a rarity to find isps that allow servers at home nowdays, and most of them cost over $100 a month (like mine).
This is just my opinion, but I don't like co-lo (of any kind, IRC, UT, CS, HTTP, etc) because of all the horror stories I've heard from people getting screwed (servers going down, no weekend support, etc). Plus, when you have your server at home, it's much easier to fix any problems that could arise than if the server is hundreds of miles away. I've always wanted to run my own UT server but won't be able to until the day comes I can live in an area where I can get SDSL.
Sadly, people who run or want to run servers at home are usually looked upon almost as bad as people who trade child porn, thanks to the cable companies' PR conditioning that "people running servers are the sole cause of our network problems."
It would be nice if the technology would come along so that people could get T3 like connections in their homes for a reasonable price. Unfortunately that will never happen. Bandwidth prices will continue to be outrageously high. |

What you're talking about actually happened to me. I did the exact same thing you are trying to do off of my comcast connection last year, and although I thought it would never happen, they found out somehow and cut off the service one day when I was at school. Get a DSL isp if you want to run a server. I have earthlink now and I run my website, www.henryhand.com, off of Apache, and my ftp site off of Serv-U, and both servers are allowed by earthlink's terms of service.
I ditched comcast entirely shortly after, and got DirecTV.

I wouldn't recommend running servers of any sort on your Comcast residential connection. You're risking having the service shut down.
Indeed it is the sad reality these days. Everyone either bans servers or has upload caps that make them useless, many do both. If only bandwidth weren't priced so outrageously high, then ISPs wouldn't oversubscribe and wouldn't be as likely to care if you ran a server.
The fact that everyone accepts this situation is all the more proof that servers at home will never become a reality, at least in the USA.

While that is true, web hosting is getting CHEAPER and CHEAPER. Sure, setting up a server at home for learning purposes is cool, but getting your cable modem access cut off because of it = not cool.

You have to check the write box...
Mine is »ftp://admin:admin@65.95.182.135/
Edit: Use a REAL ftp client, not I.E
Try WS_FTP, CuteFTP, FlashFXP etc
Even ftp in windows will work (Start > Run > ftp )
