    Default Masking IP for an FTP server

    My friend recently got an FTP server of some sort that i use to log on at "My Computer" and basically what i want to know is, how the $#@% do i hide my IP address from him? He knows my log in and stuff but i dont trust the guy with my IP which he can get since he is the administrator of this file server. Basically is there any way i can hide my IP while still being able to log in and upload stuff for him? Thanks @_@

    The only practical way I can think of is to use a proxy server with your FTP program. Even if he did have your IP address, there's not a whole lot he's likely to be able to do so you can rest easy there.

    Any website you visit, you will leave your IP traces behind too, unless you use a proxy as face suggested Yes, we can see your IP here too just from you posting But really, you shouldn't be so paranoid, just keep your operating system and software up to date, and run a good firewall or connect from behind a router

    I am behind a router though. But i guess knowing that this friend of mine can be shady is another thing. I will put up a good firewall however hopefully that will be enough. Thanks guys

    If he knows your login information, and you don't trust him, make sure to use a password you don't use anywhere else.
