FTP Program

I have WS_FTP v8.5.
My question is this. If two people, accross the states have the same FTP
program, can we see each others shared folder... as long as we give each
other the correct IP Address?

This method, if possible would be better than using a Peer to Peer
Applications (that accomplishes the same thing of course).

If so, can you help me set this up.
Thanks
 
Even if you just use good old FTP from the command line window, you and
another person could do this, so long as you have the right IPs - but I
suggest setting something up password-wise to protect your folders. XP Pro
or Home?

Click to expand...

Not to mention the fact that everything (including passwords) is sent in
plain text using FTP. For something like this I would recommend using a
VPN. Either the one that comes with XP, or OpenVPN.

Another option is to run an OpenSSH server on both machines and use
WinSCP3 as the client.
