Hi, I'm really new to this. Ihave 2 computers, my new one running WinXP Pro & the old one running Debian. My son, who programs in the UK, suggested I should set my Debian machine up as a server; an idea I find really interesting. He also suggested using Filezilla to move files over to the linux machine.
I have downloaded Filezilla and can see the sense in what he says, but I really need help in setting up my system.
My Windows machine has an IP address 192.168.1.13 & the Debian machine has an IP address 192.168.1.12, they can ping each other. Also They work through a router, 192.168.1.2, which can also be pinged. I have tentatively tried getting Filezilla to work, but somewhere along the line I'm missing something. I've ensured the firewall will allow it to work.
Would anyone have any ideas please?

Does it work with other FTP clients (like the included command line ftp program in Win XP)?

Some logs would also be helpful.
