un4given1 Posted October 23, 2003 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveXP Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 the software of the network switch does not like me so how do i set manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un4given1 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 do you have info on what router you are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted October 23, 2003 Share 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| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un4given1 Posted October 23, 2003 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
