Cannot connect to Microsoft account remotely via either FTP or VNC
I had a local account on Windows 10 running on my old PC and set it up as an ftp and vnc server. (Sysax Multiserver for ftp and UltraVNC for vnc) That worked fine.
Now I got a new PC running Windows 10, and I let Microsoft talk me into using a Microsoft account.
But those same server applications do NOT seem to work with a Microsoft account. I can't even log in from inside my own LAN. I can think of two reasons for this:
1. They don't accept my user name with a space in the middle. I don't want to give my real name on this forum, but let's say my real name is "John Smith." Then my Microsoft account was named "John Smith" and that's how I log in. But the ftp and vnc clients don't seem to accept a username with a space in the middle like "John Smith." (My old local account name didn't have a space in the middle.)
2. Some kind of security problem. I turned off the firewall completely but I still can't get connected.
Has anybody here tried to set up a Microsoft account as an ftp or vnc server? How did you do it?
