I know there are loads of similar questions and I have tried so many solutions none of which work!
I have my first Ubuntu Server virtual machine (12.04) to practice my PHP skills on. I however can't get my php files from my host machine (windows 7) to the server!
I have tried installing: tftp, tftp-hpa, xinetd and a few others.
They all say "package is not an installation candidate. I have also looked at using shared folders but I cant get that to work either!
I know there isn't a lot of information here but I don't even know where to begin so let me know if any info will help!
You're propably mixing up FTP and TFTP. I think you're searching for an instruction to set up a normal ftp server. Try this tutorial.
If the server is reachable from the internet: Use a strong password, setup TLS / SSL and use your favorite FTP client software (e.g. FileZilla for Windows) to connect to the server. If it's just a local development VM you can skip these steps.
