Re:Re: Accessing computer through Internet

[paradigm@xxxxxxxx]

Hi,

Thank you very much for your quick answer.  Does it need a permanent IP 
address, Temporary IP address or the FTP program automatically find 
itself?  If temporary IP address is enough how do I get my IP number from 
VSNL server?  Also how does the client access me?. What will be my host and 
my address?
Best regards
Anil.
