How to Set Up an FTP Server on macOS Catalina

Are you looking for a way to make your files accessible from anywhere in the world? Do you need to share files with others or access them remotely? If so, setting up an FTP server on your Mac is the perfect solution. In this article, we'll show you how to set up an FTP server on macOS Catalina.

First, let's start by confirming that your new DynDNS account is active. Register for an account on the DynDNS website and follow the instructions to verify your email address. This will ensure that your FTP server remains accessible even if you move your Mac to a different location or change IP addresses.

Once you've confirmed your DynDNS account, you can start setting up your FTP server. Open System Preferences and select Sharing. Click on the Services tab and select FTP Access. Make sure the checkbox next to FTP Access is selected.

Next, click on the Firewall tab and ensure that your Mac's firewall is turned on. Select FTP Access and then click the Start button. This may take a minute or two, but once it's started, you'll be able to access your files remotely using an FTP client.

That's it! With these simple steps, you can set up an FTP server on macOS Catalina and start sharing your files with others. Whether you're at work, in a band, or just need to access your files from anywhere, this is the perfect solution.
