noob....

AHHHH, I am very new to FTP stuff, and want to be able to upload/share files one on one with folks and have been directed this direction. I have set up Smart FTP, set up an account w/ NO-IP and have an IP address, etc. I think I have done these correctly.

My site (?) is musicnut.no-ip.info and have an IP number with that.

My questions are simple:

1. How do I see if my set up is working? I want to see if folks can connect to me, then figure out how to upload music which can be downloaded to those connected.

ANY help would be great! Please e-mail me directly at wheresjerry@msn.com if you can lend a hand....

Thanks and Happy New Years!
