brian873 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Give some more details please. It should be easy enough to get working. I run a ftp and use a dynamic service to keep my address. As for IIS, I would stear clear of it and use another FTP server. WS_FTP is my choice.The main thing you should check is that the your isp allows you to run a ftp. hail hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsden Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I would highly advise against opening Port 23 for FTP. Once you open that port every port sniffer on the net will be hammering your connection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad boy Warrior Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 Thanks Brian873. What other information would you like to know? I used WS_FTP before and had similar issues.

Do you use router? If so, you have to configure port forwarding function Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell and Rodney Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 There should be an option for you to forward ports within the routers settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsden Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Definately port forwarding!If you want a secure FTP client, then you want WinSCP3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian873 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 On your router you will need to configure port forwarding to go to the PC that hosts your ftp. To do this most have a browser baased admin system some common ones are...http://192.168.0.100http://192.168.1.1http://192.168.100.100But check your manualPublic---------------------router/firewall-----------------------FTPInternet address----------------------------------------------- Local address80.110.10.87------------<forward FTP to>-------------------192.168.0.2Does that make sense ? I would also give your FTP a static IP as if another pc conects with a dynamic addrerss of 192.168.0.2 it means the port is open to attack.hope this makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
