Having an FTP and file server at your home is a very useful thing to have. By having a central point in your home where everything is stored and have the ability to share everything you need across your home network.

Now, if you are going to grab files from your home while you are away there are a few things you should really keep in mind before doing this.

• Having it exposed to the outside world will make you available to brute force attacks (mostly from Russia that I’ve noticed).
• Make sure you have your ports forwarded to the server.  You can set this up in your routers administration panel > Port Forwarding.
• Do you have high bandwidth on your connection?  I would recommend having at least 2Mb up (~240 kbps upload speed).

I have always loved the GTA Series. I’ve played them all.

This is more of a rant on the problems I have encountered and why I will never purchase another “Games for Windows” title.

1.   SecuROM

• I have never liked this system at all. Sure it’s a way for game producers to “fight” illegal copying but it doesn’t really work. As soon as a game comes out, it is already on major P2P networks and is already cracked. Installing GTA4for PC also installed SecuROM which has actually been looked upon in the community as a type of spyware because of it’s hidden code that you just can’t get rid of manually.
• After installing I created an ISO of Disk 1. Why? Because I tend to not take very good care of my discs. Most of all, I hate swapping discs every time I want to play a different game. I mounted the ISO and viola! “EMULATIONSOFTWARE DETECTED!” … thanks guys.

2.   Register TWICE to play Multiplayer

• That’s right. Twice. Once for “WINDOWS LIVE!” and another for “Rockstar Social Club” or whatever it was.
• Special Note : You CAN use your XBOX Live account to play “WINDOWS LIVE!”
