A second issue I noticed is that if you change the folder windows folder permissions of the folders that are shared by ftp, the ftp does not work properly anymore. By changing the folder permissions I mean that you share the folder in a local network for example.

Now that I have my home server up and running I was really interested in the new microsoft home server. I ordered a 120 day trail dvd, which i finally received after weeks of waiting. The rest of the story is rather short.

I bought my first mac (Macbook Pro) only a month before Leopard was released. At first I was amazed how well tiger 10.4 performed. I then upgraded to Leopard in the first few days after the launch and was really disappointed. Once the computer ran for about an hour the dock became laggy and unsmooth, window effects were just as bad. I found the reason for this to be the 3d glass effekt of the dock. One can solve this problem by deactivating this greatly advertised feature of leopard by typing the following lines of code into the console.
Solution:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
killall Dock
After this very simple step, I found my new OS to run as smooth as expected.

I took me about a year to gather all the components for my home server, now it is finally mounted in to a closet in my kitchen (picture below). I now run a AMD 2800+ with 1 GB Ram with Windows XP SP 2. In order to make the whole thing more useful than just big hard drive I installed XAMPP and set up my router so it would forward the http:// and the ft:// port to its IP.

I installed Xampp on my Server machine and while the http was working fine the filezilla ftp access showed very odd behavior. After screwing with the problem for several hours i finally realized that the solution was quite simple.
Solution:
Disable your windows firewall, or open the ftp port 21 and you will be fine.
