How to configure a local FTP server (for an internet camera)

Hello all,



How can I configure a stand-alone hard drive to act as an FTP server on a local LAN IP address? I know a regular hard drive can't do this, but I've seen some that are network drives, but I know nothing about them other than they have an ethernet port.



I'd live to hide a drive in my house somewhere to record camera images. I've got this working at a remote site, just want to do it locally too.



Thanks!

on Windoze.

  1. Buy or build an NAS (network attached storage) server that has a built in FTP server. I've been using Buffalo Linkstations which have built in FTP servers:
