hi, i just got my FTP setup, and working fine. but this one thing is holding me back. Hacking
i told few people my ip address so that they can get into my FTP folder. so im curious if anyone can do ANYTHING just with my ip address.
i have port forwarded 20 and 21 with AT&T Uverse modem. and i believe i selected this certain pc for outside connection. not other pcs.
so basically, can anyone come in through our modem and do ANYTHING, such as taking informations, ruins the whole hard drive, etc,, to any of my computers when i have my FTP running with port 20, 21 forwarded. i didnt do anything other than that to create my FTP server. i have windows XP home, and 4 other computers connected to this router
i know people can remote control other pcs just with ip. but that requires pc that is being accessed need that feature checked on in the control panel.
i dont feel secure with my FTP on right now. or am i just overly worried?
