DaveXP Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Say i have a Main Computer which connecs to the internet with a ip address of 81.106.203.220 and a have a laptop which is connected to the net thought a network switch which has a ip of 192.106.0.242 and i have ftp software on the laptop, how do i make it work for people on the net so they can use it. :/
un4given1 Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 You need to set the switch to forward the FTP port to the internal IP address. By default the IP address is 21. You may also need to open 20 because that is the FTP data port.
DaveXP Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 the software of the network switch does not like me so how do i set manually?
un4given1 Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 do you have info on what router you are using?
Drewdatrip Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Get a ftp client like BulletProof FTP and set it your router to foward te particular port you decide on using. Then just give people your wan ip(the fist you gave out) and it should be routed directly to the rig with the Ftp app. |Drew|
un4given1 Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I spoke to Dave a little more through IM. He isn't using a router, he is using ICW. I believe that he has figured it out and has it up and running (according to another thread).Dave,let us know if you still need help!
DaveXP Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 it work until i restart the machine and now it dont. i will speak to you later on IM if you are not busy
Tinker Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Why not share with the MSFN family? Maybe someone else is plaining to use FTP and can learn from you findings. That is what we are about...... By using IM no one else can benifit...........
