This is handy for those that work from home and deal with transferring web site files over a WiFi network. First and foremost I provide an overview of configuring a router to make it more secure. I discuss how to find the IP address of the router, how to log into the router and change the default usernames and password, how to set up encryption, how to limit connectivity by limiting allowed IP addresses and setting up MAC address filtering, and how to change the name, or SSID, of the router and how to turn off the broadcasting of that name. I make a note of password security and how passwords should be unique across all accounts, and I suggest password management software. (I use: RoboForm) Once the connection is secure I begin to discuss setting up a secure FTP (or FTP) connection so that you can securely transfer web site files to a web server. The video is filmed as a screencast using the web based tool Screenr (free version allows 5 minutes of recording), and I use OpenOffice.org free tool for publishing. In the demonstration I am working in a Windows environment and using FileZilla to create the secure connection. Even if you do not intend to transfer web site files the beginning portion of this video still offers great discussion for securing a wireless network.
